Hello James - 

CA>>> Some who use 233mhz and 450mhz machines just fake it and
CA>>> pretend to be at the bleeding edge. ;-) 

JB>> Hell no! We just clean up the bloody mess when the HW
JB>> starts failing.  

CA>> Sad in a way that the old machines are disappearing into
CA>> refuse heaps. Not easy to even find a working '386 anymore
CA>> to experiment with. I was always a fan of doing more with
CA>> less. :-) 

JB> Not one of my MBs are faster than 100MHz fsb. At that,
JB> there seems to be a real need to upgrade. /-: 

I think that describes my machine - I really don't know what
the fsb is for this one. 

JB> I *am* rather surprised to count the number of HDs that are
JB> dead weight around here. )-: 

I have quite a collecton here myself. :-) 

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

Going to try to move everything off of the older drives and
onto CDs for now. Plan to get a vulgarly enormous drive soon
then see where it goes from there. :-)
