There appear to be only two: ST936701LC and  ST973401LC

These were in the original Savvio 10K.1 series.   The later
series (10K.2 and higher) did not have the LC option.   New
36GB drives are available on ebay for about $12.51 from one
seller, and 73GB drives for about $28 from the same seller.
I ordered ten of the 36GB drives.   Even with the 80/68 pin
adapters and mounting hardware, it will still set me back
only about $25 each.

I sure wish VMS Engineering would support some kind of
SAS or SATA drives for Alpha systems.
