External drives?
Authored by: andyman1080 on Oct 18, '04 02:04:24PM

Is there any way to set AAM on an external Firewire drive like a LaCie? I have an IBM 180GXP in a Lacie FW 800 enclosure.

I'm not sure, but it might work if you can figure out the drives device path and use that instead of "hd".
It might also depend on the enclosures chipset, esp. whether it passes the relevant ata command to the disk drive.
If it wont work, it will just err out without anything bad happening.
HTH.
cheers,
Alex
