NAME

      SSD - StopSpinDown, Prevents Toshiba-CDROM from stopping its
            motor

SYNOPSIS

      SSD UNIT DELAY [DEVICE]


DESCRIPTION

      It really bothered me that my Toshiba 5301-B SCSI-CDROM spins
      its motor down some seconds after the last usage. So this
      little programs sends a motor start-command to the CDROM
      every DELAY seconds. That has the effect that the motor will
      never be stopped.


REQUIREMENTS

      Amiga with SCSI-controller and a CDROM. Needs AmigaOS 2.04
      or higher to run.


OPTIONS

      UNIT   - the unit number of your CDROM.

      DELAY  - the delay time in seconds. My CDROM works well with
               an amount of 25.

      DEVICE - the name of the SCSI-device. If you use 'scsi.device'
               you may leave this option away. 

USAGE

      Just copy the program to your harddisk and add a line to your
      user-startup. If your CDROM isn't always connected to your
      computer you may use the program CheckCD from Ricardo Martinez
      (on AmiNet: chkcd10.lha in disk/misc), so that the system
      checks if the CDROM is available. So my user-startup looks like
      this:

      CheckCD scsi.device UNIT 1 >NIL:
      If NOT WARN
	      Mount CD0:
	      run >NIL: C:SSD 1 25
      EndIf
