Thanks Alan, The Apple System Profiler does give the basic info needed to look further but, too often, I engage the keyboard before the brain. But here is the reason for my interest.
My new internal HDs, Seagate Barracuda 4XLs, have a few neat options. A Delayed Motor Start Option, which I'm using to spread out the starting load on the PS. Also, they have another option, Enable Motor Start, in which the drive waits for a Start Unit Command from the host before starting the motor. This would seem a good feature if one were going to use this drive (or the old dog, if this is a common feature) only for manual backups. How would one find out about writing and best impliment a program to have the computer do this on command?
