Someone mentioned that you are using Rodime drives in the 2500HD. If that is true, the Rodime controller laughs at commands telling it to park. It takes care of itself. Yes, when power it turned off, the heads park automagically and lock. -Todd C.

Yes, the drive in my 2500 IS a Rodime. Thanks to all who responded. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- "This isn't Heaven, this is Cleveland!!!!"

I have an autopark external HD on my Amiga 1000. When you turn it off, it parks the head. I still want a command to park the head during long periods of non-use. I'm using the Microbotics StarDrive board. Their PARK command works like PARK dh0: Trouble is that my dh0: is only a partition name, not a drive name. I can't imagine how or if it is really parking anything. Does anyone know how this is suppose to work? -- --------------------------------------------------------- Reply-To: ba@m2-net.UUCP (Bill Allen Beogelein) M-NET, Ann Arbor, MI or call Sharewarer's BBS at 313-473-2020 24hrs, PCP thru MIDET, 100% Amiga ---------------------------------------------------------
