New FocusDriveCDev
ref: NewFocusDriveCDev.zip (unzip and unshrink .shk file on a IIgs

The purpose of the FocusDriveCDev is to supply
a simple control panel which lets the
user set the time the drive can be inactive before it spins down and
parks the heads (i.e.
goes into "sleep" mode). The idea is to lessen wear and reduce the
chance of overheating.
This is a slightly modified version of the
v1 FocusDriveCDev by Bill Heineman.
1- The time out settings now match actual time of inactivity before
the drive
spins down and parks heads.
2- Time out settings now extend through 15 minutes:
Never- no time out
1 min
2 min
3 min
5 min
10 min
15 min
3- There is a new icon.
To install the new FocusDriveCDev, start your
system and, from the Finder, view
the contents of your System/CDevs folder. Delete the old FocusDriveCDev
if present
as well as CDev.Data if present. Copy the new FocusDriveCDev to the
System/CDevs folder.
Click on the Apple on the main menu bar and
select Control Panels. This will
create a new CDev.Data file and show your control panels. The Focus
Drive
control panel should be included and indicated by the new icon. You
can select the
Focus Drive contol panel and set a time out value for your Focus Drive.
