Re Focus card, mine does the same thing. Oh well, don't think it's a problem
unless you had people shoving the Apple around (kids during a game or
something). Funny, my first hard drive was a card type on a Tandy 1000A. It
did the same thing but big time. I had to balance the card using an eraser
between the mobo and the bottom of the drive.

Off topic ... got my Zip GSX going! Yahoo. Wish someone would make them
again for everyone. Still having some crashed though. I think I have loose
contact between CPU mobo socket and card.
