Also - does the fx PSU have one of those push-and-lock-in power switches on the back? Iici's do and sometimes fiddling with that will have a beneficial effect. Worth a try. Seth Lewin

SCSI disk spin-down question

by julesrichardsonuk＠yahoo.co.uk

Not sure if this it OT or not! Anyone know if all SCSI disks support spin-down under software control? Is it a SCSI-1 and above thing, SCSI-2 and above, or something which is only implemented by some manufacturers? (Or maybe it only applies to modern disks with an SCA infterface even?) I'm just thinking about putting some more drives in the home fileserver - but it's noisy enough already, hence I'd like to be able to power-down disks I'm not using except for when I need them. Possibly even hooking into samba code to spin the disks down after x minutes of inactivity and only spin them back up when a data request comes in... As all my classic comp data will be on said drives I suppose that sort-of makes it on topic :-) cheers Jules

Does anyone have the Nov 1980 issue of "Electronic Design"?

by dickset＠amanda.spole.gov

In researching the INS8073 CPU, I ran across an ancient Usenet article that mentions that the 22-Nov-1980 issue of "Electronic Design" has an article that might be of interest. a) might anyone on the list have that particular magazine, and... b) would you be willing to scan the article? I can accept just about any format you might want to throw (TIFF, GIF, PS, PDF...)
