How many drive bays are there in a slab? Can I add an additional 3.5" hard drive? And what if I crash my hard disk? Is it possible to boot from floppy? I heard someone mention that the system is available on "installable media" for about $400... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- whelan@ (uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu || uhccux.BITNET || nextsrv.wslab.hawaii.edu)

I have the new brochure open in front of me (Best I can do until our machines arrive :-) and there really isn't room for another drive inside the machine. I can imagine someone removing the floppy and making room for another one, but your best best would be the external SCSI port. BTW, this vrochure says, in writing, that the machine is rated at 15 MIPS, so there. Finally a published claim. Now, for LINTLEPack, MEggafloops, Biggasteps, and (my personal favorite) Dhrystones. And the last one is _REAL_! > And what if I crash my hard disk? Is it possible to boot from > floppy? I heard someone mention that the system is available on > "installable media" for about $400... ALthough I don't have either 2.0 or documents in front of me, from what I know about UNIX I'd bet the answer is "yes". Seems to me it would be harder to make it _not_ boot from floppy. - peterd ^X ^I .signature ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Wake up, grow up, do something!
