Sitting there it is quiet, but accessing data it makes enough
noise to wake the dead.  Or at least it did in my IBM.  It seems
to be quieter in my Amiga, but maybe I'm imagining that, or its
just a factor of it not doing very much on the Amiga or something.
I'm only compressing floppies at the moment, I don't know how to
do a chkdisk.  BFN.  Paul.
