According to james@bigtex.uucp (James Van Artsdalen):

I must agree.  Ateng has a Wren-III (SCSI interface), and it's worked
without a hitch for almost a year.

HOWEVER...

Since a few months ago, the disk has been making an arritating whining
sound.  It's the kind of noise that drives dogs (and programmers :-)) batty.
It wouldn't be so bad, but it's constantly warbling about, and it sometimes
stops and then starts again.

What can I do to make that noise go away??
