I just got my Plan 9 distribution in the mail, and I'm trying to plan out
what hardware I want to acquire/use to construct my plan 9 setup.  I have
at my disposal:  a Sparc20 (single 60Mhz SuperSparc), 2 Intel Pentiums.
I was planning to make one pentium a SCSI only fileserver box, the Sparc20
a cpu server, and use the other pentium as a terminal, all interconnected
by ethernet.

My questions are:

	1. Is anyone working on any FDDI interface drivers on the pentium
		or sparc platforms?  I would really like to use FDDI
		instead of ethernet between the file server and CPU
		server.
	2.  Will the sparc10 cpu server code be able to make use of
		multiple processors on my Sparc20? (say adding another
		60Mhz SuperSparc..?)
	3.  Are there any commercial SCSI Worm devices in a "reasonable"
		price range that I could use on the pentium fileserver?
		I don't think I can afford the 350GB sony that att uses,
		but I dont need 350 gigs anyways....

Any answers would be appreciated...
