I have a DataFrame 20, and in general, I am very pleased with it.  So
far, it has been everything that people have said it would be -- easy
to install, reliable, etc.  However, it has one "feature" that I am not
pleased with.  Whenever I turn it on, it takes 30 seconds to a minute
before the disk even begins to spin.  This is *almost* always true, but
there are times when it starts right away.

This leads to the following question.  The manual says that the "disk
will take a long time to reboot at the next startup" if you turn the
computer off while in the system.  They recommend turning it off after
having selected Shut Down from the Special menu.  I always select Shut
Down before turning off the disk, and it *still* takes a long time to
start  (and yes, I always shut it off before the smiling Mac appears).
Am I doing something wrong, or is this the way it should work?
