So, what kind/size of replacement would he be looking for?  I have a number
small SCSI DEC re-badged Seagates that I use in my StorageWorks Array.  We
are talking 2GB here.  Would this be what he may be looking for?  I could
probably be persuaded to donate a drive (or a couple, even) in return for
an Eisner account.  :-)
