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
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
