   I am having MAJOR problems with my Amy 1000 as of late.
   Here are the symptoms:

   The internal drive while writing will flicker incessantly like what
   you would expect of a hard disk.  The external drive does fine.
   The internal drive will generate read/write errors while doing its
   flickering writing to the disk.

   I have had a new internal drive put into my Amy this Friday, and the
   flickering has not gone away.  It is only occasional, though, and it
   will read disks fine, just when writing it seems to like to kill
   disks.

   Question:  What could be causing my problems?  It is obviously some
   chip problem.  But, it must only affect writing to the internal 
   drive, leaving the external drive alone.  Any answers.  I'm going
   to the local repair shop *again* on Monday, but I'd like to be
   armed with an "informed guess" to tell them.
