hmmm, back in 1984 some of the apple //e's at skool had two disk drives, and

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 between it and the color monitor and from
time to time, e.g. when I turn on the monitor while the computer has
been powered up but the monitor has been powered down, e.g. when I go
upstairs to get a sandwich or answer the doorbell, the drive runs up
and the diskette is partially unreadable afterward.
