I would install it on my WOM device. That's the only place
where it's safe, because WOM stands for Write-Only-Memory.
To boldly go, where no one has gone
before (and to be never seen again).
My machine has only 8 meg of RAM yet, and when my 1st SCSI drive
crashed some months ago I had to use an IDE drive for some days.
The spare disk worked fine, but any access to it caused my machine
to slooooow down more. I avoided swapping on it by using my other
two SCSI disks for it because directly compared it is just awful.
I'm sure that for all multitasking environments a SCSI host
adapter and SCSI drives are a very much better choice than IDE,
It's just slightly more expensive, but once you have it, you
don't want to give it back.
Bye,
Martin
