Subject:   IDE Drive spindown timeout
Message-ID:  <001901c09c36$ea10a3e0$dc02010a@battleship>

I have searched the lists and haven't found any answer to this question.

Is there a way to either force an IDE drive to spindown or set the idle
timeout for it?

I have a drive that I use for backups.  I would like to have it spin down,
use less power and make less noise when not in use.
