Hey,

This steprate thing seems like basically a good idea.  Not for speed,
mind you, but because I can't stand how the drives sound.  They SOUND
like they're being stepped too slow, and that's what drives me nuts.

However, are we absolutely sure that running at a higher step rate will
not cause a higher incidence of munged disks due to too marginal a
setting?  I'd love to try it, but no way until I am reasonably assured
it isn't going to munch my critical 'C' source disks etc.
