Small tool to spin down motor of IDE HDs, it spins up automatically when
the drive is accessed again. Requires at least MorphOS and an ATA-4 based
HD, older versions only have optional support for the command set.
It should even work for CD-ROMs to get rid of that spinning noise some CD 
drives generate while a CD is inserted and the drive is waiting to be 
accessed.
It is possible to call it for several units and set different timeouts.

Options:

idestandby Device,Unit/N,Timeout/N


Device     device name (defaults to ide.device)

Unit       unit number (defaults to 0)

Timeout    timeout in minutes (if no timeout is specified, it spins down 
           right away)
