Not one of my MBs are faster than 100MHz fsb. At that, there seems to be a real
need to upgrade. /-: I *am* rather surprised to count the number of HDs that
are dead weight around here. )-:

Sans the RLL/MFM drives, I only had one warranty IDE, and one old SCSI drive
reach the junk bin for the longest time. That number just doubled. I have a lot
of cast-off equipment here, but not that many drives, which ups the percentage
of failures by quite a bit. What are ya gonna do?
