][gs giving me static!



Today, I was sitting at my desk at work when my ][gs there started to do
something strange.  Here's the configuration:

ROM 01 GS
Apple RGB monitor (GS-type)
512k memory
Disk Port:  Apple 3.5, Unidisk 5.25
Printer Port:  ImageWriter ][

What it did was give me static.  That is, for no apparent reason,
crackling came from the speaker.  Nothing else seemed amiss; the system
self-test is a "pass".  There are no additional add-ons to this system; I
was running either AppleWorks or my own DOS 3.3-based BASIC database
program when it happened.  That is to say, it's happened while running
both of these programs...and, in fact, when running no program at all.

About a month ago, I had serious problems... "Unclaimed sound interrupt"
was common, as was a 5.25" disk drive that didn't sound or work right.  I
traced that to a bad power supply and swapped the supply for a good one.
Now, everything works fine.  But the crackling worries me a little.
