OK.  For the sake of running NetBSD with the least hassle, what would
be the recommended drive ID jumper settings for the two internal drives in
the 3/80 or ss1 class machines?

Also, I have heard some rumors of horror stories of machines overheating
and burning up drives or such because of insuffient cooling capacity in
the pizza boxes.  From the practical standpoint, would it be wise to
only have one drive in the 3/80 or ss1?  My machines only have the
slow speed Maxtor LXT-213SY drives (sun207 format) in them, which
don't seem to generate too much heat.  But, it probably would be wise
to find out the pros and cons of 1 or 2 drives in the pizza boxes.
If one drive only were recommended, what should be the drive physical
ID to jumper to?

Thanks!
