They take up to much chassis real estate and I never use them after the server is in production. Why can't I do all this stuff with USB? If I got a USB flash, USB CD-ROM, and/or a USB floppy drive what could I do with it? * Boot into DOS to run BIOS updates? * Load the FreeBSD CD to a flash drive and boot / install from it? I see no reason to keeping buy them, there like tits on a bull. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
