But there's always the seductive huge IDE drives trying to lure us off
course, alas.

[Slow machine here all IDE. Intermediate machine; DC-390-U2W, 45Gb in
3 SCSI discs [1], 60Gb in one IDE disc. Fast machine; DC-390-U2W, 22
Gb in 2 SCSI discs.]

On the flip side, us SCSI types get reliable CDRW drives and can fit
tape drives easily...
