Ta, will take a look!

Ultimately I'd like something that sat on the network and could be controlled 
remotely (and be able to say FTP or HTTP or NFS or SMB transfer data to a 
remote box holding disk images) - but that's a colossal amount of work to get 
going under DOS! Serial port control is a little easier though, and at least 
means the machine with the drives in doesn't need its own keyboard / display.

Or I could just get a KVM, but that's no fun :-)
