   Yow! Be careful with AutoIdle. I tried it this weekend on a Mac 512
w/System 4.1 and it destroyed the System disk. I tried it on my Mac SE
with System 6.07, and it locked up the computer in a bad way. I still
have not figured out what is wrong (probably an init incompatibility),
but I have gone back to Morie (sp?).
