We are planning to get some sparcstation 1's for our system (280 server
with 753 controller and 5 fujitsu smd disks, 16 3/50 or 3/60 clients with
8 meg memory) and I am wondering if the performance of a local scsi disk
(for swap only) is better than swapping over the network.  I will
summarize if there is interest.
