Steve, as I understand it, the driver attempts to use the spin-down as
part of the file system clean up during ACD or shutdown processing. 
Some disks then like that state so well they refuse to wake up until
you cycle the power .  The only workaround available is to add
/!SHUTDOWN to the IBM1S506.ADD line. (or is the /!SPINDOWN ?????)

Search dejanews for SHUTDOWN - one of the Austin troops posted a
little info including the above a couple of weeks back.
