Anent the discussion of the various drives that Apple buys and
has modified to meet Apple requirements:

I have an early SE/20 (still at 1 meg) with System 6.0.2 and the
usual collection of inits (details upon request). When I select
"Shut Down" from the Finder menu, I get the "You may now ... /
<Restart>" alert.  The disk does not spin down.

On the SE/20 at work (2 months pre-FDHD) with the same 6.0.2 and
collection of inits, "Shut Down" spins down the disk.

What I wanna know, is **why**?
