>>If so, what would it take to make an IDE-only PC usable this way?

i hacked something together for someone with the old release.  it's much much easier
if you settle for having either IDE or SCSI on the file server,
but not both.  adding IDE `properly' almost certainly requires a new
device type in /sys/src/fs/port, and the changes will be extensive.
the hack is a straightforwardly ugly one(!).
i haven't done it for the new release, and don't intend to,
but here is the essence, as far as i recall.

 ... no, having looked at it, the process is just too disgusting.
i refuse to give details in public.
send me mail if you're determined to carry through with it.
