Hey, that's exactly what I'm doing. I am sitting in front of a PPro
200, running a Quantum Atlas XP32150 (2Gig) as system drive, an IBM
DFRSS4F for most of the data, and 4 _old_ workstation SCSI discs
linked together as a raid array. They are:
Two Fujitsu M2266S-512, one Fujitsu M2263S-512 and one IBM
0661467. They may not be the fastest, but they are about 7 years old,
running 7/24. And they took heavy pounding in their time as
workstation disks (Calculations running for weeks with big scratch
files...).

Don't talk to me about upgrading my computer every two years yadda,
yadda.

And I'm not running Win95 either...
