one way to use equipment that does not boot plan 9 is to run
a fileserver kernel on it. if you already have a cpu/auth server,
this works out pretty well. my home fileserver is a dual processor
pIII-based machine with a 440gx chipset and an 8169-based nic.
obviously the fs doesn't use the second processor, but it's not
cpu-bound anyway.
