To which Darklord replies...

I've considered SD-cards but as you've mentioned, I've always been a
little concerned about response time and longetivity, especially with (as
you mentioned) all the writes involved with a BBS.

I know what someday, that 4gig SCSI drive of mine will bite the bullet.
It's pretty much inevitable. I do have a new/unused 2gig SCSI drive
waiting as backup (assuming it's not withered away from age) so we'll see
how it goes.

Wait - I thought your Mega STe was now running good and hosting SFHQ's
now? I must have misunderstood...
