It has a lot more features than Energy Saver and I can solve the power-down problem a couple of different ways using it.
I'd still like to know if there's a way I can set the jumper settings on the drive to begin with, so that it doesn't power up on startup unless called upon. Where would I find out about this? (I do have info from the drive manufacturer about which settings are which, I just don't know what they mean!) --Anna -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
