Re: Where to buy old games forum...

Worst Idea Ever. Diskette drives are still essential for lots of things, and CDs are often overkill for small files. For example, why would I wait 2 minutes for lead-in and lead-out on a CD for a 5kB text file when I could put it on a diskette in under a second? Also, you need a diskette drive for …

Whaa? What are you recommending I do? The two chips are very different. One of them has an XOR engine (RAID-5 capability), the other is built-in to my MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU motherboard (FastTrak100), capable of doing RAID-0, RAID-1, or (I believe) RAID-0+1. (Of course, the SX4000 can do all of this as …
