Personally, I prefer the SCA SCSI connectors in the ss5/20 rather
than the 50pin cable jobs in the ss10.

That probably has much to do w/a person's disk supply, though.  :-)

lost too many.  :(

Every IPX I've ever inherited has had dead IDPROM, and I never
bothered to resurrect them, since I have 3 "maxed" Classics and
other fun stuff; am I missing out on something?  Physically they
seem very much the same kit, including the obvious cuteness factor.
