we have a Seagate 325Meg IDE drive in one of our 2.15 servers.

we had to use DiskManager to get it to fly with Novell (no IDE support).

it seems that when you get about 20 users on the server (386SX 4Meg), it starts
to crawl.

and i mean crawl, 1.5 minutes to start WP5.1.

i am being told that this could be because of the drive.
