My 2400c/G3 240/112MB with 6.4GB HD (IBM Travelstar) is continuously
accessing the disk (ie clicking and whirring) every few seconds too. Even
when I'm not doing anything on it. I found a desktop rebuild and PRAM reset,
etc fixed it for a while, then it came back.  I'm thinking maybe a
re-install of the system (9.1) might fix it.

I installed 9.2.2 for fun on another partition, and it I haven't had the
problem at all.

FWIW.

Julian.
