I was using (and learning to hate) SWXCRs in AlphaServer 2100 systems 
back in 1996, so that's 12-13 years at least.

I expect some downtime with Eisner, which is why the lack of RAID would 
seem to be perfectly acceptable.  It certainly takes a lot less than 20 
days to toss another cheap big disk in and restore from backups.  I 
wasn't recommending that strategy for a business system, no!
