I always hotplugged the SCSI cable, though I'm perfectly aware that's a

Eeeeeeek!
It's very late 1993 (or very early 1994). I'm working at an ISP in South
Florida who's main machine is running AIX (the ISP is owned by an ex-IBMer).
One day he attempts to add a SCSI drive to the system, as it's still

regular file, so when I restored the system, boom! I had to do
everything over again ... )
