I've seen that, but it lacks a power feature.  man dtscreen provides modes to
select the screen saver in question, but the power saving one isn't there. It
is in the CDE styles screen pannel.

I've heard good things from other folks about using other drives, so I'd say
stay away from the Toshiba 6.0gb disks and you should be ok.  Perhaps an IBM
drive would do.  Remeber, you'll need the ADTX converter to use bigger drives.
You mention you have a 1.2Gb - this means you have a real SCSI disk and lack
the ADTX IDE-SCSI bridge, so you'll have to buy that as well.  The guys that
bought the 6gb ide disk/scsi bridge from www.powerbook1.com had no heat
problems, so that's an idea for you.
