I bought pull out IDE drive brackets for $20.00 I have a cheap 40meg drive that runs dos stuff like doom. For next to nothing, you can boot dos and run the dos version of the game. If you actually ran the unix version, you would want to go back to dos (speed, sound support, size of the screen - doom is a very small window under X) In the last 2 weeks, the linux groups have been full of doom messages. This is good if you want to play games all day, bad if you want to run waisserver, gopherd, httpd, etc.. I am afraid the same thing will happen to *bsd* groups. I can argue that this is already happening!
