	This is kind-of unrelated, but...
I have a Supra 30Meg drive attached to my dusty old '1000. It makes that same
buzz-saw noise sometimes when the metal leg of my chair knocks against the
metal filing cabinet supporting my table. I think I can rule out vibration,
because I tried putting the drive on a foam pad on a separate, very heavy,
very massive table about a foot away. Plus, the floor is a concrete slab. The
drive still made the noise. It doesn't seem to matter how hard or
soft the impact is. Does anybody have a clue about what else could
cause this? By the way -- the drive is manufactured by Miniscribe. I don't
know the exact model number -- the sticker is on the bottom of the case,
and I don't really want to flip the drive over while it's running :)

somebody else cares.
