Do the Apple hard disks automatically park their heads after issuance of the
"Shut Down" command from the Finder or is a separate INIT/DA required to en-
sure that this is down every shut down?

The reason I am asking is that I saw a HD with Silverlining as its driver and
after the user selected shut down a little dialog box popped up saying it was
ok to turn off the computer and promising that the heads were parked...
