  Does anyone know the FD-55GFR well?  It seems to have

 other may have had it too but the spring is missing?)  It seems likely
 that it would click continuously, searching for a disk.  Maybe this is
 normal behavior for this drive and it seems loud because it's open? 
I've used them since they were first introduced--a good drive, by and
large.  How is the +12 on your power supply?  Does it sag or develop
ripple when the drive is attached?
