MY OPINION
4 Meg is great for DOS, 8 Meg is nice for MS-WINDOWS, but
start with 16 Meg for UNIX/LINUX, you will NOT be sorry.
If you plan on using CHEAP IDE drives, start with an IDE controler that
will handle 4 IDE drives, or get an ADEPTECH 1542 SCSI controler and
MAXSTOR or SEAGATE WREN drive or if you want to keep the drive forever,
buy a FUJITSU.
