I'm looking for two related products/projects/circuits/designs that I could
buy or build. Both are needed for several 8 inch floppy drives I run.
1. A circuit to turn those noisy fans on only when the boxes internal
temperature exceeds and off when it goes below a setable value.
2. A circuit that will turn the drive motors off after a timeout of
inactivity, turning them back on at drive select time.
I may have seen a product like this years ago, does anybody know
name/availablity. I seem to remember it might not have worked
because some disk controllers (NEC765) continually poll the drive
via the select line.
