Per the subject line, any recommendations?
I have a box running FC2 (he says redfaced) which I want to expand to be a
JABOD (just a bunch of disks). So something which can work w/ hardware
circa 2004.

I'm still running FC2 on my old Gateway 500, so don't feel bad. I do have
later distros on it as well, FC3,5, and 6, and also FC1,which I think still
works well. The hardware is about circa 1999.
2 harddrives on ide0, 2 optical drives (cdrom, cdwriter) on ide1, and an IDE
PCI adaptor card, which has one harddrive on channel 1, and a DVD rom drive
on channel 2.
I don't know if the card is still available as I bought them in 2004 ( I have
a spare), but here are the details.
It's an MRI-PCI/A133 (Microcomputer Research (UK) Ltd). See.

The card works fine. The only problem I have is that I can't boot DVD's from
it, but that's no problem, as I prefer booting using CDroms for new installs.
Once the machine is booted there is no problem playing DVD's though.
All the best.
Nigel.
I'm using on Intel D845GBV mobo (FC4):
