Hi There,
I just got my IBM 1GB Microdrive today and there is something that is really getting to my nerves about it:
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT NOISE COMING FROM IT WHEN YOU GENTLY SHAKE IT????
It sounds like a loose screw? Any other owners could comment on it please. Should I send it back to the store?
Many thanks for your help,
Luis |

my guess would that's the arm for the read/write head moving back and forth. If it works, then I wouldn't take it back.
If it's not working, then probably the disk itself broke and that's the shattered pieces you hear moving around inside.

| The drive is working fine Mbardeen, the noise is when you hold the drive in your hand and move it from one side to the other quickly. A rattling sound. |
