User`s guide

Switch on the hard disk, wait about 10 seconds for it to come up to speed, and
then restart the computer."
From the Macintosh User's Guide for desktop Macs, page 216:
"IMPORTANT: Always turn on any external SCSI devices connected to your
Macintosh before turning on the computer itself. Otherwise, your computer
cannot recognize the SCSI devices."

015- Can I leave SCSI devices I'm not using OFF when I
turn ON my GS?
If it were not okay, I would have fried plenty of hardware. I do this all
the time. I have seen no problems with having some devices off. As I have
mentioned, I keep my magneto optical off most of the time; and, my buddy who
uses my 700 now has a flatbed scanner and leaves it off most of the time. Both
work fine.

017- What is the correct time-out setting for a Focus
hard drive?
Supposedly, the purpose of having the Focus spin down and stop after 2, 10,
or whatever minutes of idleness is to prevent over-heating and unnecessary wear.
After a few days of trying various TO settings, I set my "Time Out" to "Never"
and have had no problems with over-heating or crashes even after many all-day
sessions.
