A few months ago, I posted a message describing my 40meg Rodime hard
drive. It whined like a banshee whenever it heated up.
Well, I finally found the solution. I took off the case on my Amiga
2500, got a large fan, and pointed the fan toward the Rodime. So
that keeps the temperature down, and it doesn't whine anymore.

I was a little upset about the arrangement, since I now have no
room on the desk for anything (Had to get a makeshift second desk
for the keyboard), and also, my COMMODORE external floppy won't
fit anywhere, and with the cord on it being so generously long,
well, you get the picture. A pretty sad setup I have, but I'm
just glad it works. 

Thanks for those of you who gave me advice, if anyone has any
comments or suggestions for improving my setup, please let know.
