Isn't there a diskrom-specific diskstoproutine???
I think so, because the hook which is hooked by the diskROM also only stops
a single drive, and not my harddisk.
By the way, the Auto Power Down feature the IDE-interface is very, very
cool!!! (especially when listening to MoonSound music or MODs on my
