At times with a disk already in df0: the drive will suddenly engage as if I had removed the disk and then reinserted the disk. This is not the normal polling of the drive. I can go days without this occurring and then the df0: drive will kind of go crazy, grinning away over and over and then stop. I'm not sure if its the drive that's going bad or possibly the disks themselves, some of which are quite old, like 1986. This a 2-yr old A-4000 with a 1-yr old MB.. Eddie.Ski
