Emax

While we're on the subject, is it practical / safe / possible / 
sensible to sound proof an internal drive? I know I'll never silence 
it completely but as it is it's really quite loud! I imagine you 
could wrap the whole housing in some sort of sound proofing material 
but presumably there would be heat dissapation issues and suchlike so 
to date I've never dared. I use an external ZIP now as well but I want
to keep the internal one too - it's dead handy for live work plus 
my Zip drive takes a second or two to go out of sleep mode if you 
aren't using it consistently, which would bug me everytime I needed 
to read the OS (one of the things I definitely don't miss about using 
floppies!).
