   SysV versions of UN*X use SCCS, on bsd systems (at least in my experience)
you use RCS which is included on the NeXT.  When you were using the Sparc the
SCCS stuff was probably from /usr/5bin or was ported over.  If you do a man
on rcsintro(1) it should give you the neccessary info.

   The noise that your drive makes is probably just the heads seeking.  If
it only makes it while it is reading/writing data then it should be of no
concern.  I've heard the the official NeXT drives (Maxtors?) are very quiet.
I'm running a Fujitsu which is pretty noisy while it runs.

   Have fun!
