[MLB-WIRELESS] Free Terabyte of storage (there's a catch)

[Gabrielle Harrison & Paul van den Bergen]

OK, here is the lowdown on the terabyte of disks.

firstly, it is only 32 disks (not 32 x 8 = 256 disks), each 4.7 GB, so not  
a terabyte as such. On the up side they are being removed from the racks  
[1] and delivered to Latrobe. On the other down side there are a couple of  
people in the queue for them.  If and when I get some I'll let everyone  
know and then we can best decide how to distribute them. I have a couple  
of bits of HW that can use them... old sun boxes for instance, but am  
willing to use them to the best purpose possible for the general benefit  
of MW! since I am easily capable of being magmanimous with other peoples  
property that I don't have my hands on yet :-)

note these are UW scsi disks. especially suit those who collect and  
maintain odd old hardware.

all thanks to Benji for spotting this.

[1] don't ask. apparently it's an old telephone exchange, ericson  
equipment. These are not the type of rack you are looking for.
