        My my IIcx 80MB drive has recently begun to have problems:
When the drive is idle the head starts make rather noisy movements, these 
movements do not stop until I open a folder or perform some other operation 
which results in a disk seek.  My external hard-disk functions fine, so I don't
believe that it is a problem with the IIcx SCSI controller.
	The fact that these movements start when the drive is idle leads me
to believe that it is a problem with the logic board, not the actual drive
mechanism.  Is it possible to purchase a new Quantum 80S logic board?  Has
anyone encountered similar problems and found a good (read: cheap) solution?
