My fix is a slight bit more exotic than the tape thing, but I put screws in
with the smallest under-the-usual-external-small-drive-cabinet screw-in
rubber feet.  Then trim the feet to fit.  Crude, and not quite as simple
as tape, but ok.  I think rubber grommets will do equally as well, if
you have those.
