Methinks I've got enough PC to run Plan 9: 100 MHz 486, 24 megs RAM
and a one gig drive with 600 megs free. My VGA monitor just died so
I can't test yet, hence questions:

Can one PC run all parts of Plan 9: terminal, files, authorisation & 
computation?

Eventually, I expect to have a diskless Sun 3 as terminal & want the
PC to act as file & compute server. But the port.html document says
only SCSI disks can be used for PC file server. Is that still true?
If so, what would it take to make an IDE-only PC usable this way?
