	On the subject of the high frequency noise from the 1040:
Mine HAS a noise from the disk drive (internal). There is no other noise
that shouldn't be there (within my normal hearing range). I get a high
frequency noise from the intyernal disk drive every time I turn on the
external disk drive. It is clearly caused by resonance of soime loose
part of the drive mechanism, which is only free to vibrate when the
drvie is not actually reading or writing.
	A piece of loose metal rings like a bell most times when the
external drive just starts up.
	So it looks as though there is some variety in the 1040 noises.
	So long,    Alan Kennington.
