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?
I have a "worktable" that I use for building/repairing stuff, and that's where the 286 sits along with a cheap ($10) old VGA monitor and keyboard for backing up games. I tried the KVM thing but it quickly became unfeasible when I needed to hook up machines with proprietary connectors (Tandy, PCjr, AT&T PC clones, CGA, etc.)
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.
I recently built a new machine and attempted to get an old dual drive like this working but couldn't :-( Light was constantly on, like the cable was bad. I'll try again.
