My compaq deskpro at work (running NT 4.0) spins down it's ide drives after some period of inactivity.
Can I configure my Linux system to do the same? Most modern IDE drives should support this feature, is support required on the Motherboard or Bios to make this work, or is it all in the OS? My Linux box uses an AZZA AT socket 7 motherboard with an Intel TX chipset and an AMD K6-233 cpu. I think the bios does support powerdown features but the powersupply in my box does not (might only work with an ATX power supply). === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
