It boots just fine from the hard disk now, but it emits a wailing noise from
the speaker which varies
with the spinning of the floppy drive, even with the case on and all the
screening in place.
It's not really a problem but I just wondered if it's a common complaint.
Thanks again for your advice

PS It's a french machine running MacOS 6.0.7.
The whine is from a bad sound circuit caused by leaking tiny capacitors. You may be able to stop it from making noise by placing the motherboard into a dishwasher for a cycle.
Once dried, maybe a couple of days in a warm spot, you may have eliminated
the whine.
