Hi,

due to the way that my employer implements SCSI drives in their equipment, a
Dec SCSI drive does not spin up when power is applied...It waits for a SCSI 
'Start/Stop' command....So, to use this on a Mac (as a data disk, not
bootable),
I would have to write an init that would do just that, send a SCSI Start/Stop
command to the drive/cxontroller....

Since I have never done any SCSI stuff and haven't done an INIT for YEARS (yes,
2 years now!), anyone have any code they could send my way to help me?

ThaNks....
