	I have had trouble with one of my ST251's for about 6 months now.
	My BBS has two ST251's and remains running most of the time.  When
	I do occasionally power down, the one disk drive has trouble
	spinning up again.  I need only turn the head spindle and things
	are back to normal.  My guess is that the autopark mechanism on
	the old ST251 is sticking but the new drive has a newer improved
	mechanism.  Does anybody know a fix for the autopark sticking
	problem?
