Hm... perhaps not a bad idea. We have perhaps one second from the button
press to the shutoff. Has anybody tried if the parking mechanism of the
heads is fast enough to do it in this short time? I guess a parking command
each time the disk is spinning and the off button is pressed wouldn't hurt
(the disk as well as usability).
