I recently acquired two old rack-mount servers with K6-2 processors.  They
don't have a manufacturer label and my guess is that they were assembled
from kits and put in generic cases. One server came with a hard drive, so I
erased MS-DOS from and installed Debian. It works great.  It had Ethernet
and video cards, so I was able to attach a monitor etc. to set it up;
afterward, I unplugged everything except the Ethernet cable and am now
controlling it from my desktop via ssh.

The other server came sans hard drive, and I'm trying to figure out what to
put in it.  The working server has a Maxtor 6.5 GB drive mounted in the
middle of a bracket that appears capable of holding three total. The other
one has just an empty space in the same spot.  I'm having trouble finding a
matching bracket when I search online.  I also don't know what type of drive
to put in it.  I can't find a matching Maxtor drive online, and I would like
more storage capacity than six-and-a-half gigabytes.  Does anyone with
knowledge of servers have any suggestions on what to use?
