I appears the "start unit" is getting it to spin up again. I still believe this is a hardware problem, not software. If the drive would support automatic powerdown, it could respond with ``Logical unit is in the process of becoming ready'', and the normal retries should suffice. ``Not ready'' usually means the drive doesn't even think about turning up again. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
