Well, as I say, John's simple suggestion has already worked it seems, but what you say interests me anyway and I will keep it in mind. On this subject of HDs spinning, mounting, anyone know of a way to deliberately have HDs in the case and on the 0 bus (7600 eg) to NOT spin and mount, to have as a reserve for when required by software commands like key presses or other? It's easy with external HDs, they have a switch!
