- No - this seems OK. I have a Twinhead 486/33 running 386BSD and all is OK with
- a disk shutdown time of 1 minute... saves power quite well.
-
- On a slightly different vein again: does anyone know how to write a driver to
- support these "power saving" features under kernel control. I thought there was
- an effort in the portable market to standardise the way it works ?
-
- Just a thought...
