note about MTBF (mean time between failure) ratings: there are only 8760
hrs/year so 40,000 hrs is around 4.5 years

I have a limited quantity of the following accessories, so I'm unbundling
them. They are available with purchase of a drive only:

Ontrack software                            $10
frames (for 5.25" bays)                     $10
cables, bezels, rails                        $5
controllers                                 $20

ROM BIOS updates for Toshiba 3200 and 5200  $50
(Maxtor & Conner drives only)

Tape drives of various capacities also available, watch this space.

Terms: cash, cashier's check, COD. Buyer pays shipping. All drives are
guaranteed to work.

Note: Due to overwhelming response to my previous posting (SCSI drives)
I'm starting the following sales policy: I'll take the highest offer
received within 48 hrs of the first response. This is to allow everyone
to have a chance to read and respond, since news propagates unevenly.
