Yeah, but they're what I had. :-) All my bigger disks are busy on
other machines. (And while 80M isn't very big, five of them in a ccd
is plenty big enough to hold a source-and-build tree.)
As for performance...well, it ain't no speed demon. But watching the
activity lights makes me think most of the slowness is due to the cpu,
not the disks; I'll see make print a line, the lights will flicker
briefly, and then go dark for anywhere from a few seconds to a few
minutes while the command crunches. Then a little more flickering and
another line from make....
