That is ridiculous. These drives are 100% standard units, with their own
power supply.

The only thing really important is the disk-controller. And you have to know
how to hook up te other drives, of course. But that's easy to find out.

Or he's a genius and he knows something we don't, or he's a fool. I don't
think that these systems will ever be as valuable as e.g. and Altair 8800 or
an Apple I.
