Thanks to everyone who replied.
I've followed Bruce's suggestion, booting the server into plain old DOS,
running wdidle3.exe and "turning off" the idle timer.
What the utility really says is that the timer gets set to a larger
value (something more than an hour) IIRC.
Anyway I was then able to newfs the disks and try and use them.
Still:
_ the disks will often get to a stop, blocking any I/O for some minutes,
then restart working;
_ i get a lot of messages in the logs, like:

Is there anything else I can try?
Patches? Knobs? Settings?
Any help is appreciated.
