Re: Waiting for disks to spin up

[Oscar Molin <oscarmolin%gmail.com@localhost>]

Frank Wille will know. I had the exact same problem but with 4 disks
on my cs 407e and he made a special version for me that worked around
it.
Then he made a different change in the online code but I don't
remember if I ever tried that with all disks and I only have one disk
now.
