Now that I've finally got my Empeg hard drive woes sorted out (Thanks to Stu for the cable), I went and installed 3.0 alpha 8.

Everything works fine (with the exception of the known bugs), but I am now finding that the hard drives never spin down. I am always left with the 'we were spun down, but then spun up again really soon, so we won't get caught with our pants down again' icon.

I've seen someone else mention this problem, but can't find any comments to indicate whether this is intentional, a known problem or just a problem with certain configs.

I'm running on an original Mk.2, with Hijack 413.

If anyone can shed some light on this, that would be great.

Thanks,

Bagpuss.
