I sold a drive (IIRC, a micropolis 85MB) that would spool up and then
do a couple of "ching-chings" and worked fine. I tested the livin'
daylights out of it; no problems, but many folks told me and the
fellow I sold it to that it would die immediately.
So how long has the guy you sold it to been using it? (I've had bad
luck with the Micropolis 40MB drives in some AT&T 3B1s).

anyone else think that the sounds made by old MFM drives is really
cool??)
Yep. I think that some sound like "lasers" or optical devices of
some sort.
Still make me feel like I'm living in the future.
