You obviously didn't get an original 6 MHz IBM

drives off your hands." Damn drives sounded like an Apple II booting
up when they were working properly.... which was never for long.
Hmmm, I STILL have a working 20MB CMI drive. The noisy ones were the
100+MB Priams. All sorts of interesting sound effects.
