Re: disk speeds, yes, the faster drives ARE faster, even under the
existing file system.  The Maxtors I'm using are faster than the ST251
drives I'm using, and the ST251-1 (28mS) are noticeably faster than the
ST251-0 (39mS).  Occasionally I put over 1 GB of HD on one of my systems,
and that's 11 drives.

FOr those who remember my talk at BADGE several months ago, the 190MB
Fujutsi tape unit I showed works fine; am completing utility software and,
scheduling permitting, may give a mini-update at BADGE of HDs and tape units.

One NEVER has enough disk space, so plan for expansion.
