Charles, I have the same original CD-ROM drive in my beige G3 DT and it has been that way from day one, when I got it new from CompUSA. That is only sometimes when a CD is in it. As you indicate, it isn't every time, but some times it runs full speed for no reason I have determined, even some times when it doesn't appear to be being used to access info on the CD. It is aggrevating, but since most times there isn't a CD in the drive, I have just learned to ignore it. If you find the answer, let me know what it is. :-) Thanks Don
