Hi,
I've an embedded Linux booting from a flash disk and running on a PC104+ stack.
This PC104+ computer is carried on a moving platform and occationallyy subject to high vibration. I do have know when vibrarion will start and the duration of the vibration.
Some time I do attach an IDE hard disk (40-160GB) to my embedded Linux system for high speed high volume data logging. Due to the occational vibration, I would like to be able to park the hard disk heads just before the vibration starts and re-activate logging when vibration ends.
I wonder if there is a way of temporarily moving the harddisk heads to parking position and back?
Thanks,
