for you to see (btw there ARE NO DISK LIGHTS on Suns, Vaxes
That depends on the model and what the disks reside in. Even when
using Sun shoeboxes, with the drive mounted inside where one doesn't
see it, one can see the light blinking through the holes in the case;
of course, a 5-1/4" disk can also be mounted in a Sun shoebox so that
the disk drive's front cover, and light, are clearly visible from the
front of the shoebox. Then, there are the third-party shoeboxes where
one can see one or more disk drive front covers and lights... :-)
Of course, even though I can see some the disk drive lights, I still
do proper shutdowns whenever possible.
