[More conversation about how no known SCSI drivers park heads, and the Apple HD parks itself automatically ...] And so I'm back to my original question: How does one park the heads on one's hard drive? Does anyone know if the Quantum POWERDrive parks itself automatically? I know that 'most drives made in the last three years park at shutdown,' but I need a DEFINITE answer before I hand it over to UPS next month. The accompanying manual for the drive was written for Mac users, so is in baby-ese. It says to always quit from the (Mac) Finder, because that is how it parks itself. Not much help. Please help, or I will have to resort to calling the company, who will probably know much less about the GS that I do. > > -- > David A.
