I was tempted to mention this, and the fact that the term "mission
critical" is a bit of an overstatement for a device that is having
hardware work performed on it in the middle of the day, uses IDE disks,
is so old that its BIOS doesn't support large disks, and doesn't have a
hot-swap replacement to use while the device is out-of-action.
On the other hand, maybe the 1997-ish Pentium class machine we're
talking about is serving as a multi-gigabit router with verbose NIDS
software installed that requires stupendous amounts of space for logs.
