Going to one HD 4549

Hi Isaac! Thanks for the good tips. As you can tell from my list, I love to tinker ;-). I will do the positive airflow thing instead of all the rest. I'm thinking a bigger fan + slower revolutions will move the air quieter. At least that is what I garnered from here and the magazines I read (MaxPC, Linux Journal, Dr. Dobbs).

Yes it is a 200 GB drive vice a 200MB. Actually I do have a few 200MB drives out in the shop in case I need to upgrade any 386's which come my way ;-)

Aha! The fstab entries. I am glad you reminded me about that. I've gotten everything printed off, so I have hard copies in front of me.

The Power Supply option is just something I thought up, buttuming that the PS would not have to work as hard and hence be cooler. But OTOH I am pulling out one HD, 1 CDRW and the flop and cleaning up all the internal cables with new compact round ones.

OK! Tomorrow is the Big Day!

Now, back to restoring my Heathkit H89 with the 1Mhz clock, 64K of Ram and 2 (yes Two!) single side single density 51-4 inch floppies.

Cheers,

Dave
