I spent this day evaluating all my disk brackets to see if one of them would
fit the 95. No such luck. I guess I'll have to work something out with a saw
and some plywood. Then I spent the evening manufacturing drive power cables,
since the 95 power supply has got sockets just like those on drives, as
opposed to plugs prodding out of it as on every other PC PSU I've ever seen.
Then I carried a big, heavy SCSI drive back home so as to get it up and
running with a reference partition.

As spartan as my 95 was when I got it, at least it had one such card and an MO
drive. Now, if only it had support under some decent OS...
