Mac IIx, 6 months old.  FDHD disk drive bites the dust.  I have a hard disk
(third party MicroTech with a FIVE YEAR WARRANTEE) so the floppy was used
very infrequently.  The whining of the floppy drive's stepper motor is so
annoying I disconnected the power/data cable from the drive.

"A fool and his money are soon parted."  I guess the shoe fits.  See if I
make this mistake again.
