Wow! Ok, I really want to run VMS but not $2000 enough. Well I
sometimes have some pretty good luck, maybe I'll find one
cheaper. But I'll take what I can get. Getting the box running if the
main goal. Other than that I'm not too concerned about the type of
drives. Thanks for all the info. Now I just have to find some
controllers.
