Many thanks for your answer. I try to find an old IDE harddrive
or so.

Would a IDE-Flash module works too? These modules are not expensive

(20$ for 1GB). Perhaps that works for CPU server and terminal
server too? I ask because I yesterday spend some time with an usb
floppy. No
chance to get working. So I am not sure about flash drives.
