I've seen PARK cmd via software.  I have an autopark external HD
on my Amiga 1000.  When you turn it off, it parks the head.
I still want a command to park the head during long periods of
non-use.  I'm using the Microbotics StarDrive board.
Their PARK command works like PARK dh0:
Trouble is that my dh0: is only a partition name, not a drive name.
I can't imagine how or if it is really parking anything.
Does anyone know how this is suppose to work?
