The drive is a Tandon TM-501 or 502 in a TRS-80 Model 2000
running DOS 2.00. I know neither the machine itself or the drive
automatically parks on shutdown or after a timeout and Tandy's OEM
version of DOS didn't include the utility either. My personal
preference in the machine is the ST-225, but the Tandon in this one
is still going strong as it only saw light use.
