Hi all,

hdparm sets various power management and interface options for 
IDE/ATAPI disks but what about the SCSI world? I'm getting ready to 
head back down to Juneau and the firewall I built will happily eat up 
1000watts of power until I can get the disk to spindown.  I tried asked 
in various irc channels and some basic google searches but couldn't 
come up with a good way of setting power management options for this 
disk.  I tried just using hdparm but it would happily report 
unsupported whenever I tried to set a spindown time.  Any thoughts?

the machine is an older Powermac 7100 running a 2.4 series nubus 
kernel.  The disk is stock apple running on the internal SCSI interface 
(not to shabby considering the disk is about 7 or 8 years old and only 
200 megs :)
