Man, that's one slow SCSI spin-up. Are you sure the delay start feature (usually always a jumper somewhere on the drive) wasn't enabled? On Seagate drives (others?), this feature will deliberately stagger a drive's spin-up time by 12 seconds times the SCSI ID. Hence, a drive with SCSI ID 0 should spin up immediately, a drive with SCSI ID 2 will spin up 24 seconds after power hits it, etc. Just out of curiosity, what make and model is this drive? -Kennedy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
