[comp.sys.amiga] Powering down drive...HELP!!

lgreen@pnet01.cts.com (Lawrence Greenwald) (07/05/89)

I've got a quirk with my GVP 80 meg hardcard...I'm not sure if this is a
problem or normal behavior. My drive has been giving me "AmyFF0 has a
read/write error" requester for a few days now (AmyFF0 is a 40 meg FFS
partition). The problem I've noted is that the drive is SHUTTING DOWN (That's
right, it stops spinning!) then after a while, it restarts up and all problems
go away (disk is validating fine).

I have checked all connections, reseated it in the slot, pushed in the chips
into their sockets, and it still happens. Is this a bug or is this normal
behavior??

Please E-mail an answer to me ASAP!...This is driving me nuts!
