Anyone suggest the best way to duplicate the boot disk on an Windows
NT4 machine, without having to back it up to tape then restoring to
the new disk? I simply want to put a larger disk in the machine,

if Apple ever did a bezel for that model that would work over the
Sony drive? Other Mac servers have utilised the HP DAT, but the

Some time ago there was a question on this list that concerned the
use of a 10/100 switch or hub. There was a reply stating that a dual

device. So a mix of 10 and 100 devices would cause all to run at only
10 mbps.
