And a different problem.  I have a working SID-II, but I notice that
using the Test Utility to record to a disk file causes 'clicks' when
the disk drive spins when it has to write.

The click is actually a span of time when recording stops when the
drive is running.  They are very short spurts, but long enough to make
a word unintelligible unless you try many times to beat the drive.

I had illusions that the RAM cache could delay the write, obviously no
luck.  Any workarounds, or other PD recording programs?

(SE w/MultiFinder and various INITs that appear to all be stable)
