- I don't normally use Sleeper2, but have tested it and it seems to work
- within the parms set by drive makers. I tried it over a two week period
- and it worked flawlessly with a gui for screen blank time out's and misc
- flags. I guess it comes down to the quality of drive you have (the
- cheaper variety seems to have a limited amount of start-ups, stiction?)
- so for you this is the ideal program, the docs mention users who render
- 'all' night (it's a good thing).
