Michael Burden took my idea further with the following suggestion: "The only change that I would make to your suggestion is that the Boot Code, GNAT Box Core, and Configuration should be on the first disk, and the "optional" modules on the 2nd disk. That way, if someone just needs the core GNAT Box functionality, it can run off one disk."
I think it is a great idea, and I hope that this is the path GTA decides to follow. I would love to see GNATbox continue to maintain simple hardware requirements like this. These simple hardware requirements played a big part in my decision to go with GNATbox. (Not to mention the great performance, high security and reasonable price!) I agree with those who say hard drives are *not* the way to go -- especially small, old ones that could fail at any time, either abruptly, or gradually as bad sectors develop. Sticking with simple floppy technology keeps GNATbox reliable and very serviceable. Cheers!
