	Yep, I am using a Micropolis 80 meg drive (1024 cylinders, 8 heads)
full height.  I waffle between running it external in a cabinet to
internal with the top cover resting on it.  It is a FAST drive (~35 ms)
and can run notesfiles, and a full news feed on it with enough space
left over to get lost.  Too bad it is really only a single user
machine.  Also, with the 3.0 upgrade to UNIX, the windows and
other stuff are FAST!
