	I have an 80 Meg Quantum internal hard disk in a Mac II.
(It's from CMS, if that matters). For the last month, or so, it's
been making intermittent noises. These are best described as high-
pitch rattling. Is a bearing about to go? Is a static brush out of
whack (a-la DataFrame 20.... remember DataFrame 20's?). Is the disk
about to go west? Do I back up hourly?(yes) The noises do not
affect performance in any way, but I'm nervous. If anyone has any
experience or advice, please let me know.
	Thanks much,
