I seem to recall that some time ago I heard about a program that would let the GS wait until the Hard Drive had warmed up before it tried to boot...anyone have any idea if it does exist or if this is just a figment of my derranged imagination?

In-Reply-To: message from nrunyon%peruvian.utah.edu@cs.utah.edu Neil, By changing the SCSI ID#s around a little, you can get the GS to wait 3 seconds before booting. This gives the the harddisk time to spin-up. It has been a while since I set up my drive, but I think I set the CPU SCSI to '2' and the drive to 1....but I am not sure..so CHECK YOUR MANUAL.

For my Maxtor 8760, 3 seconds is not long enough. Someone mailed me about a porogram called smartboot. Has anybody heard of this? Is it Public Domain? Can you post it?

This gives the drive time to spin up. HOWEVER, it will do this pause EVERY TIME YOU BOOT. Needless to say, that can be annoying.

(6 or 0, I'm guessing) Set the computer to 7 and the drive to 6. At least that's what I've found is fastest.
