Hi, y'all!
Back in April I posted the following:
"I got in the habit of leaving one of my IIgs systems on all of the
time. There was a power failure here recently so I went out to run
errands rather than sitting around waiting for the power to come back
on. When I got back home there was a knocking sound coming from the
area where the IIgs sits. After some checking I determined that it
was the DuoDisk making the noise. The knocking sound isn't as rapid
as the sound made by the drive when it is formatting a diskette. But
the weird thing is that the drive still seems to be working. Anyone
know what's going on with the drive? "
Wow, talk about being completely wrong. I finally got around to
replacing the DuoDisk with a UniDisk only to find that the noise came
back when I turned on the IIgs. The drive chain connected to the IIgs
consisted of two 3.5 inch drives and the DuoDisk. Removing the second
3.5 inch drive from the chain revealed that it was the real culprit,
not the DuoDisk.
