I'm now considering to purchase a new machine for that new file server.
What will be the standard (or recommended) type of hard disk drive,
IDE or SCSI?   If it's IDE what type of, ATA100 ?

Yes, existing discs should work as is.

One man's drool is another man's vomit.
There is no list of features available.

If I read this correctly, it means that the new fileserver will accept
existing disks unaltered.  I think that's extremely handy as a
transition.

Is there a list of features of the future fileserver that we can drool

The new release will not include any significant changes to the fileserver
code other than support for 9P2000.

This is entirely my fault, so don't beat up any of the others over it.
When it does eventually happen, it will hopefully not matter what the
disc type is.
