Just bought micro-drive - KILLING my battery - How to turn it OFF?

Hey all,

Thank in advance for any response.

I have a 2215. Just purchased a 2 gig microdrive ($79 at Compusa after rebates).

I think that the damn thing is just spinning w/out stopping. I charge it, unplug it, and go to bed and it is dead in the morning. VERY frustrating. I have two questions.

- Is there some way to have it auto-power-down after a period of time?
- Is there some utility that will tell me if it IS spinning or not?

Thanks!
