Greetings, 9fans!
Here's some more rambling about what I'm doing with plan 9. Feel free
to respond as you see fit. All suggestions welcome.
I just got some more old hardware, this time a 100mhz dx4 486. It's
quite a bit better than the dx2 66 I was using. Unfortunately I don't
have a working system assembled at the moment.
Some stuff that came with it: a pertec 120mb "floppy" tape drive; and a
600+mb micropolis scsi II drive. The scsi host adapter is a DTC 3280as.
Is there any possibility that this junk is supported? I'm thinking slow
storage behind a file server; active storage<-scsi disk<-pertec tape.
Not exactly high performance stuff, but it's right here under my hands.
I'm starting to get serious enough about this to think in terms of
better hardware; what direction should I be taking in terms of
fileserver storage? Obviously I'm not about to install a big CD jukebox
to backend the fileserver ;^)
Thanks for listening to me ruminate-
James
