Spin down hard drive in LC 475

Spin down hard drive in LC 475 68k 4 posts Feb 29, 2008 — Feb 29, 2008
Does ayone know of any utilities for System 7 that allow you to spin down a hard drive on a desktop 68K Mac? I would like to do this specifically with an LC 475.

I'm pretty sure LaCie's SilverLining does that sort of thing. It lets you set a time-out like in Energy Saver on newer machines. It also has an option to park the heads when you shut down the computer (for REALLY old drives that won't do it themselves).

^ yeah give that a try

$25... seems a bit excessive considering, but I'm sure you could extend the evaluation period somehow.

FWIW, I tried it on my 475 and the screen saver did horrible things.
