A1200 Hard Drive question
« on: March 12, 2004, 10:37:04 AM »
Hi
Does a Hard Disk fitted to an A1200 automatically park itself?
Or is there a program that i nedd to be able to do it?

Sorry if it's a dumb question!

Thanks

Hi :-)

Modern ;-) Hard Disks are automaticaly parking their heads after some times of inactivity (usualy 30" or 1mn).

BTW, that behavior can be seted in the rom's Hard Disk, or initiated by software, but I can't remember the name of it :-(

Nothing can park itself. You need to drive a vehicle if you need to park it in a parking space.
