Hmm, I think I might begin to see some kind of logic in this: it seems that the disk stays spun up for, say, half an hour after the boot in AC mode, then behaves normally. Could that be on purpose (to minimize number of spin ups/down when the user is likely to play with playlist selections and the unit is stationary, anyway, so shocks, acceleration and attendant gyroscopic forces etc are not the issue)?

(BTW, I did not had a chance to observe that closely when on DC power. Anyone?)
