I've got a newly re-functioning VAXStation 2000

RD54 hard drive. The system boots into Ultrix 3.1 however it is _very_
loud. The drive has got a serious whine to it. I'm wondering if there is a
bering or a brush somewhere that I can lubricate to cut down on the noise!
Chuck, if it really is an RD54 - aka Maxtor XT2190 - the motor is
internal and inaccessible. There is, however, a Priam 519 that has the
same parameters as the Maxtor, and it has rotating parts external to the
disk housing. I do not know whether DEC used Priam or not, though.
