YEEF!! Two MILES? That's one long drive cable!

When I saw the subject line, I thought you were talking about maybe the
next ROOM (something we did with an external 8mm drive we bought for
manufacturing product, then eventually wore out).

Twenty feet, or through a wall, is one thing, but I'd be interested, on
an academic level alone, in how one might manage to get a drive going
two miles from the computer.
