I have had very bad luck with the Miniscribe in the Supra 20.  The first
thing you need to do is call Supra and order a fan for your drive.  
Sometime in the last year Supra started using a fan in their 20meg.
The fan moves alot of air.  Sounds like a jet taking off.  You can slow
it down by putting a resistor in line with the fan.  I have a 50 ohm in
mine, but I'm using a Quantum 80 and it puts out alot less heat.  You
might try something around 10 ohms and 2 watts.  

Hope this helps.
