- Just on a side note, if you look at the internal drive light on my A3000,
- it flashes (very mineutely (pardon my spelling)) but it does flash. You
- can only see it if all the lights are out. Flashes with
- each "click" when a disk is not inserted...
-
- The "click" and blink is rather stupid. You'd think that they'd think
- up a better solution, like a button the disk hold in when you insert the
- disk, or a light and sensor combination. Why the "click"?
