I have an AT clone (Uniq 286) with a Seagate ST-251 hard disk.

Question #1

When I turn off the power the disk drive chatters briefly.  Would somebody
who has experience with this behavior please tell me if it can cause
problems.  Should the drive be returned or is this normal?  Please, no
speculations I can do that myself.

Question #2

My computer can run at either 8mhz or 12.5mhz.  Just recently, I began having
problems with the 12.5mhz speed.  When I use Tcless to view a file it sometimes
hangs, this does not happen at 8mhz.  Also, again sometimes, when I reboot the
system hangs.  It appears that the problem is related to disk activity. 
My computer has an AMI BIOS and I am using MSDOS 3.3.
Comments anyone, even speculations are welcome.

Thank you.
