  Name:     park() - position the hard disk heads on the last sector
  Usage:    park(<disk>)
  Params:   integer <disk> - hard disk to park, 1 = first, 2 = second
  Returns:  nothing

 ---------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

                 park(1)  && positions the heads of first hard disk
                 park(2)  && positions heads of second hard disk

  Note:     Park() does not really 'park' the heads. It merely positions
            them over the very last sector. Since turning the computer
            on or off puts stress on the data stored under the head,
            moving the heads to an often unused sector will decrease the
            possibility of data loss in the vicinity of the hard disk
            head.
