The monitor seems to interact with the drives when the
monitor is turned
on. It
depends, I suppose, on the monitor, but I've got
the IIe with the dual
drive box
Same setup I have, except mono monitor.
I'm told by more experienced Apple owners that
it's a good idea to (a)
ground
the disk drive boxes in the case of the old
aluminum-cased Apple][ drives
and
(b) put a sheet of grounded ferrous metal between the
monitor and drives.
I
don't know whether this helps, as I've simply
stopped turning off the
monitor
when I go away.
Dick, thanks for this valuable information. I haven't lost any data yet
but I think I'll take the easy way out and just set the disk drive unit off
to the side.
