Re: 16gB HDDs

Another alternative (so I've been told, and will soon try and report)
is to bring it up as a Samba server under Linux, which (I'm told)
ignores BIOS after bootup. Also gives your files some protection
from the deadly "W9x" virus so prevalent still. My plan is
to keep most of my files on the Samba/Linux server so I have
less to reload when a trivial configuration change 'kills' my
W9x machines. Trivial = = PowerUp, for example.
