Save Power (stop harddisc?) NB.:
I don't know if there are jobs running in FreeDos which would consume power while I don't use it? On my Lenovo machine (is a computer with integrated monitor, which results in a compact forma factor, much like the "iMac"), booted from a FreeDos USB-Stick, the fan and I guess the harddisk are running all the time. (I didn't try to access the harddisk from Dos, as I use a second USB-Stick D:\ to backup my files.) When in Windows 10, the harddisc, monitor and fans etc can be halted by "Standby". So this made me think that it might be healthier (?) for the computer to halt it, also in FreeDOS. Bootup time from USB stick is around 10 secs or so, but too long to always switch on and off the machine. I remember there is a power-saver by Eric and others again, maybe this would suffice or do the trick? > On Wed,20210929- week39, at 15:05, Bret Johnson <bretj...@juno.com> wrote: > > What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
