[SPARCbook] Power Saving Screen Saver and SuspendingSparcbook?

[Ken Hansen]

My 6.4 gig drive was bought with the sled for the high price of $400, but as
that included the IDE<->SCSI adapter I was OK with it. The drive in the
adapter is an IBM DADA-26480-AD60 (as reported in the format command).
The -AD60 may not be part of the part number.

My HD does not appear to be heating the unit, but as I have said before, my
laptop
is essentially idle - neither the CPU nor the HD have any real effect on the
temperature
of the unit bottom (even after 12+ hours)...

You may want to take the model numbers available and see if you can get any
kind of
heat information (or it's corallary, power required) and partially base your
decision on
that information.

Just a reference point,

Ken
