I REALLY wish there exist something similar for my second floopy drive. Now
as most Amigans know, their drives are not the "quietest" around. It sorta 
makes me red-faced, when I hear a comparable computer, say Computer "X"
with 3.5 drives operate MUCH QUIETER than mine. 
	This annoyance is emphasized when one hears my internal drive 
(AHHH..!! Quiet, is it operating ??? ) and then my external drive
( Oh MY GOSH, Where did the drive get the chisel ??? ). It sorta makes
me remeber my first computer, a Apple II, with disk drives that we called
"Apple Dish Washers"


This REALLY makes me GRIND....!
