Looks like your idea of a dedicated disk is a good idea!
I'm not yet sure though that more than 256Mb RAM is needed. If I use
128Mb for LInux, 64Mb for Netware, 32Mb for NT4 (I have that currently,
seems to work OK), I would need a total of 225Mb.
However, the more RAM the better.......
Talking of RAM upgrades, do you know whether one can get a RAM module
"caddy".....an expansion board that can hold DIMM modules, and will
itself plug into the proper DIMM slot?
You know....something that can allow more than just the usual 3 DIMMs to
be used on one motherboard. I remember seeing something like that for
using the 30pin SIMMs with a 72pin SIMM slot.
.......The other option is to sell old DIMMs on eBay!!
