[rescue] New harddrive in a SS20

[Koyote]

Yep- the barracudas will be pretty warm to the touchm and that's fine.

for the rest, the hardware generally pretty much just goes with
sun. Learning the software and OS model can be... interesting.

one or both of those should have the fan modification, but it's not a
huge deal all the time. (I'd recommend not running dual 10K drives in
any case, but I think I left you with 7200 RPM barracudas anyway.)

the good part is that you can go back to the "Z80 days" with these and
play around with the OS commands and write programs using just the shell
operations and learn quite a bit.
