i'll probably pass on that, for now anyway, i've got a cluster of 4000 boxes
and those DSSI disks come in awful handy for that.

yeah, i got me one of them, and two /300 boxes as well.  very nice.  i love
them, they rule.  picking up a /500 this weekend (that one'll run NetBSD)

i love the 4000 series, neat, powerful, and a lot frickin smaller than the 6000
boxes. :)
