It looks like Joerg is closer than me on this one. It managed to format the drive fine yet sometimes spins down when fully closed? I don't suppose the "allow removal" in the driver is causing this think to spin down? I appears the "start unit" is getting it to spin up again. 1. (I don't know if this will work) As an information point, keep the drive open so it is never fully closed and see what happens: > sleep 100000 < /dev/rsd0c & 2. Look for a jumper that makes the drive spin up when power is applied. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
