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. :-)
