I have had this weird quirk in my ST system ever since I got it (3 years ago)
and I am wondering if it is normal.  I have a 520 ST, a single sided disk and
a double sided disk.  The double sided disk is drive A and the single sided
disk is drive B.  Whenever I access drive A, drive B spins also.  Should this
be?  Is this harmful?  The drive light on B does not come on, but if I have a
disk in there, I can hear it spinning.  If I access drive B, drive A does not
spin.  Anyone know what is going on?
