The problem is not the shuttle... it's the box that needs to accomodate 
what WAS in the shuttle... Shuttle is running a 2 disk system... which 
needs to go in the old NetBSD box which has only one disk... which will 
go to the shuttle... but I like the idea of replacing the floppy with 
the 2nd disk...

After all, nowadays, who needs floppies to install a modern OS? :)
