Yeah, I am leaning towards this now.  I completely forgot about the
write limitation and I am sceptical of everything going smooth with
the IDE adaptor and the like.  I can get a cheap 80GB IDE Western
Digital HDD for ~$80AUD, which is fine with me.  I doubt myth will
touch the disk after boot up anyways if I put 1GB (or more) of RAM in
it seeing how this is a FE only (at this stage).

Thanks for all the pointers though guys, I am glad I asked here first.

Cheers,
