  • COMMAND_IDLE was not enough to disable standby timer from 1,8" Toshiba HDD. Apparently idle mode is the default mode. Added COMMAND_STAND_BY and that does what COMMAND_IDLE was supposed to do. Without COMMAND_STAND_BY the 1,8" Toshiba HDD experienced some random pauses (=>retry/abort... prompts) especially with Freedos 1.3RC4 but MS-DOS 7.10 (Win98) was mostly OK.
  • Added FEATURE_ENABLE_ADVANCED_POWER_MANAGEMENT command to set drive to maximum performance mode when standby timer is disabled. This feature needs a bit more work. See TODO comments in sources.

     34; ATA specs say that in standby mode time to respond could be as long as 30 seconds
     35; Note that some low-power drives (like Toshiba 1,8" HDD) have power management enabled by default
     36; TODO: It might be better to define timeouts in IDEVARS (in ROMVARS) or in DPT. Having even a single bit in DPT means
     37; we could adjust timeouts on runtime when enabling or disabling power management.
