I doubt you'll find any IMI drives laying around, though you might find
somebody with a junk Onyx system willing to make you a deal. I seem to
recall the that company that bought out Onyx (Corvus?) did come out with
some kind of adapter to replace the IMI drives with 5.25" drives, so you
might want to check in that direction.
