You somewhat oversimplify the number of possible cases.

That's exactly the time when it started to matter most. That's the time I still bear scars on my hands from. People come and say I want _this_ drive to be "A", not that one. And another one comes and say the opposite. While they were the same type I din't have any major problems because (with very few exceptions) nobody cared. Once it started to be two drives of different size, which couldn't be rearranged inside the case, the whole thing started to cause trouble. And it's was not the time I could order a roll of flat cable and a bag of IDC plugs in both edge and pin forms over the internet and have it on my desk the next day. It's been the times one had to work with what came with the customer. -- SD! - https://e4aws.silverdr.com/Received on 2019-01-08 19:04:58
