Heavy is putting it lightly on the 9595's - my 9595-OPT has a 4.3 3.5" boot
drive and two seagate FH 5.25" 9 gb drives besides the 1.2mb floppy and the
included 2.88 3.5" floppy and all the cards that go in it, including 2
ethernet cards, XGA-2 card, 2 SCSI/2 F/W controllers, etc. It's a hernia in
the making.
