Almost too quiet - not even a floppy sound now and then. There's no visible drive indication either, unless I can bring out the LED signal. Maybe a wire, or a light pipe. I need a clear case.I have drive activity indication now. I snaked a toy fiber optic strand from the right side of the keyboard to the drive LED on the CF adapter. Sitting by the //e I can see it without glasses in a lighted room.
When I got my first Vulcan drive, I got a small rectangular green LED on a twisted pair cable and plugged it into the LED header on the controller card. I hot-glued the LED into the top, front cooling slot on the right side of the case, which was a pretty good fit. I like your plastic fiber solution, though! -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
