	I recently installed an ST-251 in my AT-clone.  When I powerdown
	the system, the drive makes a fairly loud GRRRRRRRRRR sound for about
	three seconds.  It this the sound of the automatic head parking
	"feature"?  It sounds more like the heads being unmercifully pounded
	into oblivion.  It isn't due to the controller (OMTI 8240) since it
	sounds the same without any controller cables attached.
