i[3456789]86 machine + IDE + Linux + Linux-NFS-server = worst case. ;-)
Relly, PCs and the crap that comes from them does not make fun. I use
VAXen because they are funny, reliable workhorses. 
And try to run 4.3BSD-Tahoe diskles via NFS... 
So the one and only really usable solution will be a (T)MSCP emulating
Controller, regardless if there is EIDE or SCSI or Firewire/IEEE1393 or
whatever on the other side.
