Add to this: file transfer via SneakerNet, and use of those cheap floppy-
controller tape drives.  I have never seen a SCSI tape drive that was on
the order of $300 with a 120 meg pre-compression capacity, and sometimes
sneakernet or mailing floppies is the Right Way to move data (moving an
SLS distribution from the office to home, without fone bill, for example...).

Well I'd like it to be the only one.  The fact is I only want to replace my
motherboard.  Not put together a whole new system.  That would be WAY to
expensive.  So I guess yes it will be the only one in the room.  At least
after inital development.

In fact, the board should have the size and mounting wholes exactly
like a standard iX86 motherboard. That means that the ISA slots are
also at standard locations.
