Apple better get off their collective butts and answer this problem!
We have had this problem on a IIcx with every drive under the sun!
Drive begins to "chirp" uncontrollably as though doing some seek-ahead
that never succeeds. It is not annoying, it is unacceptable!

WrenIV platters, Micropolis, Quantum, Seagate, no difference. AND GET THIS!
When we boot the IIcx under A/UX, NO PROBLEM EVER! The MacOS ROMs for the SCSI
manager on the IIcx ARE BROKE. I put the same drives on a IIx, no problem, EVER.

If you buy a IIcx and a hard drive, you will regret it!
