[juneau-lug] Re: SCSI Disk power management question

James,

You rock.  I'll apply it let you know how it works out.  RAM disk 
wouldn't work to well as I only have 40 megs of memory free.  Right now 
the machine doing a great job though, trouble is the second ethernet 
card quit on me and I haven't been able to get a link light out of 
again.  Oh well perhaps she'll just be a cheap print server.
