My Quantum 80M drive also had troubles starting up about two weeks after
I got it (as part of my Mac IIx/4M/80M).  I kept using it for another month,
and sometimes it would die during a session -- same scratchy seek noises as
others have reported.  I called the dealer (Businessland), and was told that
it is a common problem -- they'd replace the disk.  They did so yesterday,
and things seem ok so far. 

Sad.
