[comp.sys.apple2] Parking Heads

jefft@gnh-applesauce.cts.com (Jeff Tarr Jr.) (10/21/90)

Does anybody have source code that demonstrates how to park the heads of all
the online hard drives? 

Any information will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

That's a device specific question.  All you can do is look for every
device that is a hard drive you know how to park, and park it. 
Unfortunately, various non-SCSI hard drives will all park differently.
(Remember the problem with trying to "eject" a SCSI hard drive through
SmartPort?  It caused the drive to reformat itself.)
