David,
Can you run a DOS box in Linux?
If so, try running COLAP.COM /T and pressing Right Shift and DELETE
at the same time. It will send an immediate spin down which
will persist until any process hits the disk. This worked under
OS/2 2.1 and DOS in my TP750C. My toshiba T200 however catches
a memory violation under windows, so your mileage may vary.
Good luck. (Full text of Colap.doc available for your asking. It's
8K so I don't want to waster bandwidth.) COLAP is freely distributed.
-Joe
