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.

Didn't you just get finished telling us in the last 10 messages on this
topic that you threw out all your Apple ]'s???
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.
I'm a highly experienced Apple ][ user (18 years and counting) and I've
NEVER heard of this. Further, as I've already stated NUMEROUS times,
THERE IS NO TRUTH TO THE ASSANINE RUMORS YOU INSIST ON PROMULGATING HERE!
