	I have a Quantum Pro 80meg drive that autoparks, so I haven't had to 
worry about this problem too much, but I was curious to know if others have 
had this problem:  When using the makepark program that came with my ICD host
adapter, I use the resulting park program on the Quantum:  The result is an 
alarming sound - the apparent slowing down of the Drive with some other nasty
sounds.   Needless to say, that was the last time I used it, but I was 
wondering if the park program is destructive to autoparking systems, or just
Quantums, or is the sound I was hearing no more destructive to my disk than any
other disk read?

	Anyone else have this problem?  Or am I just special....:)
