SCSI.  We might be able to make use of an MFM drive, but that would require
the use of something like an Adaptec ACB-4000 board, and those are
somewhat awkward...

The particular clout machine currently most desperatly in need of space is
a Sun workstation (without a VME bus, just SCSI) running on the ragged
edge of drive space so SCSI is our only real option for space.  We will
also need some more space to get the development project underway, we can't
possibly do it on the current machine, not only is there simply mot enough
space, but we can't afford to risk the disruption that would result.

Right now we are about to launch into the design of the next generation of
our software.  Mostly we are looking for people with experience in
databases, mail, and distributed systems.  Of course this sounds a LOT
more impressive and complicated than it actually is, but then I have a
slight tendency to hyperbole...  :-)
