2819.0. "Spin down/up SCSI disk" by COOKIE::FROEHLIN (Let's RAID the Internet!) Thu Feb 27 1997 16:38

    Anyone using a system which can spin down/up SCSI disks based on a
    timer? I think EZSCSI for Adaptec controllers has such a utility.
    What about controller independent solutions? BIOS, program, Windows 95
    add-on/patch, mini-port drivers etc.
    
    I can spin down my SCSI system disk connected to a NCR810 controller. But
    Windows 95 either spins it up because of some disk activity, or
    fails with a blue box disk read error, or crashes with a blue box
    exception error. Works fine on my laptop where only the data disk
    is SCSI.
    
    Thanks
