drive when the timeout gets too long. There's apparently a WD utility (these are WD drives) to change a setting for that (the utility is wdtler.exe and the drive property is called TLER) which allegedly solves the problem. Other posters have pointed out that the newer drives OF THE SAME MODEL no longer let you set that. I haven't yet had the chance to find out if my drives allow it to be changed or not, but since they're somewhat over a year old I'm hopeful. Soon, I hope. Looks like I need to find a way to make a DOS bootable floppy (then add a floppy drive to the machine) so I can boot it up and give it a try.
