Place the mac on its front. I know this will block the speaker, but you don't have to leave it there once the disk spins up. It works for me, on my SE/30. Go ahead, try it! You should do the placing before you turn the power on, then wait for the disk to spin up and then turn the mac back to its normal position. beware excessive shocks to the mac when the power is on and the drive in motion. - Yossie -- Yossie Silverman What did the Caspian sea?
