- As I have mentioned in several previous posts on the subject, yes, you can
- have reselection enabled and I do.

- The Jaz does the same and the default is 30 minutes.
-
- The problem is that after it spins down, it apparently sends the system a
- media ejected type message. Unless you have a directory window open or
- some other type of active lock on the volume, the disk icon will disappear
- and any attempt to access it gets you a Please Insert Foobar: requester.
- If you eject and then re-insert the cart you're okay or if you use a scsi
- utility that allows you to spin up the drive you're okay. Otherwise you'll
- probably have to reboot to get it back.
-
- Rather annoying.
