After 1.5 years of casual use, I am suddenly experiencing a problem with the
optical drive on my NeXT cube. Often when I access it, the drive spins down. 
It eventually spins back up again, and I can usually complete the operation,
but this spells trouble for sure! 

Is there an easy fix? Is it just a dust problem?
