I have an Atari 1040STf (one of the older ones-no rf modulator) and it has
had a problem for some time.  About once a month or so, when I turned on the
computer, it would come up with a sound as if you were holding down a key. 
(buuzzzzzzzzzzzzz)  No mouse movement would be possible and rebooting often
did not make it go away.  Once, I had to shut it off, unplug it, AND unplug
the mouse and joystick  (just shutting it off and unplugging did NOT work) 
to make it go away.  Now, I have just added an ICD hard drive adapter and a
20 mb drive.  I have had a new version of the bug that buzzes in a pattern;
(buuuzzz  buuuzzz  buuzzzzz  buuzzz) about 8 times this evening!  Changing
resolutions seems to trigger it.  Incidentially, it has not happened
in the last two hours--but if it comes back I want to be ready to kill it!
Does anyone know of this bug?  All help will be greatly appreciated!

PS: the battery-backed clock on the ICD board seems to be running slow
(loses 5-10 min a day).  Is there an adjust for this?

Thanks,
Brian Daniels
