Back in the 68K Macintosh days, you'd have geek cred based on how tall
your externalSCSI tower was - you had to have a ZIP drive, maybe a Jaz
drive, the Apple CD ROM, maybe an external HD... I hated SCSI conflicts
- having to swap the order of drives to see if one of them decided to
terminate the chain...

I had a IIci, external 2GB drive and a DDS tape drive. I wasn't one of
the cool kids.
