I think I;m starting to sort this out, if not actually SLOVE it,
the HD seems to have a bad volume header... other drives are working.
the Seagate 1T that dropped off came back with a nudge from MOUNT in
Disk Utilities and shows up fine on reboots
one iPod Touch wouldn't show up, while another one did
Now BOTH are working fine... maybe one was so far discharged it
wouldn;t function until it got restored to some level?

When an external HD drops off the screen (presumably after going to

You've got a USB issue here. First your iPod Touch isn't
recognized, now
you're saying your HDs are "drop off the screen" which isn't
supposed to
happen ever, and both are USB related. You've got a bigger
problem than
a HD sleep issue because your iPod is definitely wrong behavior for
certain, and it has nothing to do with software on your G5, it's
a pure
hardware issue.
You should look in your Utility>Console logs for error messages
related
to USB. It's likely you'll see error messages. If your USB ports are
bad, you may need to purchase a USB PCI card.
