>>my terminal at home has indeed got a drive

con'td:

one of my terminals at home has indeed got a [scsi] drive, as
you'll notice if you look at my configuration page, but
i don't use it (it's clearly quieter when i spin it down after boot).
i installed it initially to check my ultrastor driver.  the terminal has
also got a scsi cdrom changer but that's only
because my indigo cpu server didn't accept it, otherwise i'd have
attached it there (more useful).  the other terminal is discless.

the nice thing about plan 9 is that you can mix and match
as you like.
