I wouldn't mind having some way of shutting down the hard drive on my Toshiba
T1000XE from software.  I too like to have a very quiet system.
Is there a technical reference manual available for the thing so I could get
information on the graphics initalization parameters for 640 x 400 mode, the
pinouts for the 3.5" floppy connector, and the like?
