Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2004 22:24:55 -0600 Hello, Forgive me for wading in on this topic as I am well known as not being an expert. I have a V1 which shuts down without the spin up when holding down the off key. I don't know if that's intelligent shut down but I like it. I also really like the menu option for shut down. I also have a very wonky FMR that spins up know matter if I double click or press and hold the off button to shut down. It appears to stop the disk prior to spin down which causes that ugly slapping noise with my Hitachi drive. This distresses me as my unit is a piece of _at_$%#! lol! I have noticed that the shut down option is not available from the menus on the FMR? I think I have the latest voice UI so I am assuming it has been removed from the FMR/V2? Personally, I would like the disk not to spin up during the shut down process. Or at least, give me a way to shut it down after the spin down is done. Just a comment from one of those idiot users...lol!

Which risk? I explained to you that the risk isn't there. Again: V2/FM/Ondio users hold the OFF button, which activates the clean shutdown. Even if the user continues to hold the OFF key there are still several seconds to save the data before the hardware shuts off. No risk of hard drive damage there. V1 users have two options: 1) Hold the OFF key - this turns off without activating the clean shutdown process. Just like before. 2) Press OFF twice (three, actually, as you stop the music with the OFF key first) - this activates the clean shutdown, and I can't see how this is done by mistake. Player users have only the "Shutdown" menu option. Now where is the danger? > It serves a very important purpose: Not shipping firmware that is > potentially bad for the hardware. Read the above.
