>>Times change.
not that much; i'd still go scsi.
absolutely. i'm not suggesting IDE as a reasonable alternative, just
that had large drives been available when the port was done i might
have made (a little) effort to make them useable.
even today, the best you could do is 8 drives at < 2Mb each, not to
mention the configuration nightmare of 4 controllers and the performance
problems if they're not busmastering. admittedly the plan9 ide driver
makes no effort to optimise performance, again showing that it may look
like a pc but it's really just a terminal.
