- The same noise comes out of my new Quantum 240 AT (LPS 240 AT), so I guess its
- normal. I also have some other problems with the drive. Sometimes it gets
- stuck when reading the drive. I think the jumpers aren't set correctly, but
- since I don't have the jumper info I don't dare change them. Could anyone
- please mail me the jumper settings for this drive?
-
- Thanks in advance
