I absolutely adore the UNIX PC's but have convulsions about the noise made
by the 20 MB miniscribe drive (the 10 MB isn't quite so loud). The solution
is quite simple. I got a Wren II (56 MB ala the atasi drive). This is the
same drive used in the larger version of the 3b1 UNIX PC. This is a full
height drive and sucks far too much power to use the UNIX PC power supply.
My fix is to buy the drive, replacement ribbon cabling(24"), and an I*M PC
power supply (a cheaper variety ~50 bucks). This works great and the drive
is quite silent... I should add that it also has the faster 33 ms av. access
time.

PS-- all of this can be had (for more money) from a company in Phila. PA
     called Feith Systems and Software.
