RE: LOUD I have x86 machine SCSI hard drives. The fast rpm SCSI are LOUD. I suspect they would be the majority culprit in the netra's case too.
There are likely pci-bus/slot ata or s-ata workarounds if the lower-freq netra is a suitable starting place. (e.g. I run several everything-but-X-and-comp (EBX&C) x86 obsd hard-drive free boxes on compact flash and RAM-based mfs mount combinations. No hacking required unabridged EBX&C will fit in 256MB CF (about 180MB used), though 512MB better. Happier with 1GB or more depending on non-volatile storage space requirements.) -----Original Message----- From: johan beisser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Douglas A.

I mean, shockingly so. I can hear mine through the house, easily. It's also, easily, one of the loudest systems in the colo right now.
