This might keep us out of trouble when the more hard core Linux people come around, not that we're not hard core, right? 8^)

Yeah, and someone sent me a link where I can presumably upgrade my processor from 75 MHz to 400 MHz, voltage converter, cooling fan and all, even a hack for the bus speed, all for about $90.

My brother-in-law has a K6-2 (greater than) 400MHz CPU sitting around. He might sell it to you for $20 to $30. Fans come as low as $5. I don't know about voltage converters.


The old drive is on the motherboard with the zip drive and the cd-rom sharing the controllers. The new drive is on its own Promise ATA/100 card. Is that optimal?


Basically, isolate faster drives from slower drives. Put the faster drives on the primary controllers and the slower drives on the secondary controllers.
