Nope.

Which is completely and utterly wrong. An IDE drive will NOT spin up after
power is applied until RESET- is de-asserted. Period. End of story.

Really? Point out the bullshit in the following excerpt from the Maxtor
DiamondMax Plus9 product manual, Rod, the audience is waiting:

"Hosts may assert the RESET- signal for longer than the minimum. When
power is applied with RESET- asserted, the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9
disk media will not begin to spin up until RESET- is negated. This may
reduce maximum current consumption for the overall system."

Say, have you tried powering up a hard drive with it's RESET- signal
shorted to ground, yet? It's pretty easy to do, you know.
