- 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
