Cool! Exactly what I'm using right now. The 9G makes a fine boot device
as far as I can tell. See previous discussion on temperature monitoring
and cooling. I stuck a second tiny square fan between the drives and the
CD-ROM/floppy, and it seems to be doing the trick. The framebuffer's
hotter than the drives.

If you have one available, an SBUS FB will run a third head. Rock and
Roll, baby!

Joy.
