... just another question: the HD parks after some minutes of inactivity. I don't like this setting... how can I change it?

I don't remember HD park in my other Amigas  :-?

HD park puts the head safely away off the main surface of the drive.  I just purchased a Supra HD for my A500 which has a park utility from Supra.  It assures that if you move the computer the drive isn't thrashed by the head.  IMHO it's a good thing.  I wouldn't change it...

Yes but if your HD stops and starts 50-80 times every day, its life will be shorter... :-(
