A recent posting said that the CMS 60 hard disk auto-parks on power-down.
This was a surprise to me, because I had heard that it only parked under
software control.  If it auto-parks, this adds it to my list of disks to
consider (and at a better price than the Micah drive).  I'm referring to
external disks, if that makes a difference.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?  (How about random rumor - that's always
fun too!)  Please post or E-mail as seems fit.
