In your posting you talk about the noise the drive makes.  When I started using
my GS the first thing I tried was to look at my old IIe 5.25" Prodos disks, and
sure enough, I got that same grinding noise.  Well, after I determined that it
had not eaten my disk, I unhooked my drive from the GS and tried it on the IIe'
s at school.  Sure 'nuff, no noise.  So I mentioned it to a friend who works at
the local computer store.  According to him, the noise is caused because the
timeing on the GS is just a little different from that of a IIe, which causes a
grinding sound as the disk is accessed.  Also according to him, this cannot hur
t the 5.25" disk in any way.
