Once your RAM Disk is up, can you do a hot reboot from it?
if so:
. . . do so . . .
. . . try dragging the HDD Icon to the Trash to dismount it . . .
. . . if that works . . .
. . . then hack the sucker with a switch to turn off its power!!!!!! }

I hadn't thought of that. With 24 MB of RAM I should have more than enough space for a minimal install and whatever I want to put on it. Though, I'm wondering if there is a software solution. Something as simple as it listing the disks and having a few options such as mount/unmount, spin up/down, etc.
What fun would THAT be? }

This seemed like a simple problem, so I thought I'd be all smrt and code something up real quick to just send the SCSI Stop command to stop the drive's motor. And sure enough it was a super easy thing to do.
It just turned out to not be so smrt, as my development machine now has an invalid partition map.
