I've had two wyse-60's that began to make a high-pitched whine, which can be stopped by fiddling with the modem connector on the back.

I long ago stopped ever turning them off: failure, when it occurred, almost always came at power-on. -- Norman Kohn | ...ddsw1!nvk!norman Chicago, Il. | days/ans svc: (312) 650-6840 | eves: (312) 373-0564
