Hi,

At some point one of my OS/2 Warp systems (an
old desktop) has decided to spin down the hard
drives. It has decided to do this after a very
short wait, which is inconvenient. Four IDE drives
and one SCSI MO removable. Where is the setup for
this or where is this controlled? No APM.SYS in
the CONFIG.SYS. No Power Object in system setup.

TIA,

Steve N.

Danis506.add can do it in config.sys if /IT:?? are specified.
Not sure if that would hit your MO drive though...
A BIOS setting under APM section can do the same..
Check....

It is better to close your mouth, and look like a fool,
than to open it, and remove all doubt.

Not using Danis driver. Cold boot to MS-DOS does
not show the problem. Warm boot after OS/2 rinning
does. MO may be a red herring.

Thanks,

Steve N.
