On this list or in the general population? 8)  I think you'll find
most of this list has some older hardware tucked away for just such
occasions.

However, you have me wondering now if my current computer supports a
B: drive.  I wanted to move my 5.25"/3.5" combo drive (footnote) to
my new computer, but both 5.25" bays are filled (one CD-R, one
DVD-ROM), so I never tried it.

I'm curious, though.  How many people here with older hardware keep it
set up all the time, network it with their current systems, and/or use
KVM switches to reduce the clutter?


Footnote: I was probably one of the last people to actually order one
of these drives from Gateway.  I know they didn't offer them any more
when I was shopping for a replacement computer a few years later.
