Short: Prevents ToshibaCDROM stopping its motor - correct upload Author: dirkw@uni-paderborn.de (Dirk Wrocklage) Uploader: dirkw uni-paderborn de (Dirk Wrocklage) Type: disk/cdrom Architecture: m68k-amigaos NAME SSD - StopSpinDown, Prevents Toshiba-CDROM from stopping its motor SYNOPSIS SSD UNIT DELAY [DEVICE] DESCRIPTION It really bothered me that my Toshiba 5301-B SCSI-CDROM spins its motor down some seconds after the last usage. So this little programs sends a motor start-command to the CDROM every DELAY seconds. That has the effect that the motor will never be stopped. REQUIREMENTS Amiga with SCSI-controller and a CDROM. Needs AmigaOS 2.04 or higher to run. OPTIONS UNIT - the unit number of your CDROM. DELAY - the delay time in seconds. My CDROM works well with an amount of 25. DEVICE - the name of the SCSI-device. If you use 'scsi.device' you may leave this option away. USAGE Just copy the program to your harddisk and add a line to your user-startup. If your CDROM isn't always connected to your computer you may use the program CheckCD from Ricardo Martinez (on AmiNet: chkcd10.lha in disk/misc), so that the system checks if the CDROM is available. So my user-startup looks like this: CheckCD scsi.device UNIT 1 >NIL: If NOT WARN Mount CD0: run >NIL: C:SSD 1 25 EndIf AUTHOR You can reach me at the following address: Dirk Wrocklage dirkw@uni-paderborn.de
