Hi,

I have not used this for ages as some drives showed problems, but under 
WinNT using Adaptecs software all of the following drives support the 
spindown: 1.6GB Micropolis, 1 GB Quantum Atlas, 2GB Conner (Wide), 4GB 
IBM (UW) plus some of the IDE drives that happened to be installed on my 
PC for short time could be spinned down too. If it is of any interest I can test 
my new 18GB IBM (LVD used as UW) too. The problems were, that the disks 
did not spin up fast enough so that the os reported errors (I assumed that was 
an OS problem).
