If I am not mistaken, most new SCSI disks these days auto-park at power off. morris meyer software engineer NeXT OS Group

The Maxtor 330MB hard drive used by NeXT systems has auto-park heads. The same goes for the 660MB. When transporting any laser printer, remove the toner cartridge and place it in a the foil bag it came with. Try to keep the cartridge standing in a vertical orientation to keep the toner from coming out. I would also recommend placing the original "shipping teeth" in the fuser assembly. This prevents the fuser heater bulb from breaking. Phil Immordino Princeton University Computing and Information Technology Technical Support >From: eht@f.word.cs.cmu.edu (Eric Thayer)
