My my IIcx 80MB drive has recently begun to have problems: When the drive is idle the head starts make rather noisy movements, these movements do not stop until I open a folder or perform some other operation which results in a disk seek. My external hard-disk functions fine, so I don't believe that it is a problem with the IIcx SCSI controller. The fact that these movements start when the drive is idle leads me to believe that it is a problem with the logic board, not the actual drive mechanism. Is it possible to purchase a new Quantum 80S logic board? Has anyone encountered similar problems and found a good (read: cheap) solution?
