I don't know whether the information below is of any value, but I'm reporting it anyway, just in case.
I have been using UIDE for almost a year in one desktop and two notebooks, blissfully unaware that hard disks are not supposed to sleep. All three computers were set to spin down their disks. Even though I work for about 6 hours every day on FreeDOS, perhaps a couple of files were lost in that year. So, at least with these computers, it was not disastrous to have UIDE and sleeping disks. By the way, the same applies to LBACache, which I used for 3 years prior to UIDE.
