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. -- [replace with your own cute .signature] amdahl!drivax!riddle
