I have a 4904K HFS standard partition right now.    Ramfast with
latest ROM upgrade.  Still no solution, however, to the Jaz 'sleep'
problem previously described still exists. Only solution is to 'goose'
the drive every few minutes- a pain.   Working on an Ultramacros
solution within AW 5.1 to 'wake' the Jaz drive every 30 minutes to
keep it from going to 'sleep' - looks real promising...
