Not as useful as you'd hoped though.  Generally the control jumper for this is
part of the 80 SCA pins, meaning you can't get to it.  I haven't seen any of
the semi-modern (9gb or larger) SCA drives that have a second bank of jumpers
to set those.  So if they are not set by the SCA backplane, you are out of
luck.  (Unless there is a firmware trick to enable it)

I actually highly doubt that SS20's do this, because SS20's have the primary
drive wired to id3 and the secondary to id0.  The delay start jumper usually
delays N seconds * the ID.. meaning that your primary drive would be the second
to fire up.

All that being said.. I've noticed that my multipack at work does do delayed
startup.
