Yes, your SCSI drives won't spin down via BIOS; it seems to be a function of
the OS instead. I've got two SCSI drives on this machine, running Win2K Pro,
and can spin the drives down if I want to, one at the time.

I vaguely recall Adaptec having some kind of SCSI utilities that would work
with their cards, but they were Windows only. No source either.
