If the drive forgets which track it's over on a warm boot and consequently
has to back up a track at a time to find track 0, then why doesn't it do
the same thing on power up?  I own a MiniScribe too, and I notice that when
I power the sucker on, it makes *one* seek, and there is no buzzsaw sound.
Only on a warm boot does it make the buzzsaw sound.

What now?
