Possibly, I have an NCR53c876 controller, but it's possibly also a
function of the hot-plug hardware in the machines we use. They
use the standard hot plug SCA disks - so maybe the firmware for
the hot plug facility controls the spinning up of the disks.
You could also probably also spin them up with one of the utilities
for spinning down scsi disks scsi-idle is one and there is also
another which I cant remember.
