Oh, I'm aware of that - but it doesn't work with SCSI disks, AFAIK, as
the BIOS spin down only goes for EIDE drives (correct me if I'm wrong -
at least I've never been able to get SCSI hard drives to spin down that
way). Problem is: The only machines with (E)IDE I have don't have
"green" functions... :-}
So, for me personally the solution will be: Keep old hardware and switch
off when not in use. :-)

Cheerio,

Thomas
