•• Disk Saver Preferences Window

     This window allow the user to set the Disk Saver settings of the Comatose.

• Spin Down Disks After XXX Min. Idle:
Through this option you can set your disk drives to automatically spin down after number of idle minutes you specify.  This prevents your hard disks to be working when you are not using them.

• Spin Down All Disks Except The Boot Drive:
If you have several disk drives attached to your computer and you wish they will spin down when idle but you are on a network and wish others to access your main hard disk through network, check this box.  Otherwise, if Comatose is set to spin drives and you are away from your computer, no one can access your computer unless you are present at your computer.

• Scan For Multiple SCSI Buses:
If you own a Macintosh with dual SCSI buses (i.e.. 840, 840AV, etc.) or own a third party SCSI board and you wish Comatose to spin all devices on all SCSI buses please select this check box..  If the check box is not selected or you own a single bus Mac, Comatose will only spin the drives on the main bus (Bus 0).

• Spin Up/Down Disks When SHIFT and COMMAND Keys are Held Down For Three Seconds:
If you check this box, you can spin up or spin down your drive from inside any application without the need to switch to Comatose main window.  After you have selected this option press down and hold the aforementioned two keys for three seconds to signal Comatose to put your computer to sleep.
