Hi, I am a proud new owner of a Mac IIci... I really like it except for
one problem I've encountered... When I leave the machine off for a while
(a day or so - it varies) and turn it on again, the internal (Sony 40M) HD
doesn't spin up... My first internal drive (also a Sony) did this and I thought
replacing it would fix it, but no, the second one does it too... 
I can get it to speed
up again if I take the cover off and "shake" the drive but this is a pain
in the ass... I guess one solution to this problem would be to just leave the
computer on all the time but I was hoping someone out there might have a
better idea...

   Thanx for any help...

     Doug
