Would putting a toggle switch, or a simple button, in the cable leading from the drive to the computer fix the problem? Lemme re-state that. What I mean, is put a small button that is usually in the on position in the power wire leading from the drive to the card, and when you power down, all you gotta do is his the button momentarily to kill power, then release and reboot. Would it work? If not, what would keep it from working? -Greg T.
