Why does my Apple 3.5" disk drive occasionally lock up?  When a
program accesses it, the "in use" light comes on for both the 3.5"
AND the daisy-chained 5.25", and the computer visits Never-Never 
Land.  The GS's at my old high school used to do it regularly until
we pulled all the plates out of the back to allow adequate ventilation.
But I just turned my machine on, loaded TIC, and the machine died.
I've got a Woz revision (with new ROM) with only two cards.  If this
is an overheating problem, why'd it lock up now, first thing in the
morning?  All help is appreciated!
