Hello,
I've a bt-948 card, and quantum fireball st and ibm ultra scsi harddrives;
A lot of the time when I'm using the fireball, the ibm drive is idle;
that's, I've no use for it. It consumes power though, and contributes
unnecessary heat. How do I turn power off to a scsi drive if it is not in
use? Is there a special command for that in linux or even win95? Would
that affect the termination of the operating scsi drive? If any body
knows how to turn power off on an idle scsi drive, please help me.
Regards.
robert Johannes
