It may be a silly observation, but have you considered using *two smaller 
drives*? 2.1Gb drives are very cheap (280 quid or so), vs. the 650 quid approc 
for a 4.5Gb drive, or 700 quid if you want wide SCSI-II.

Whats that got to do with how much money he's got? I know plenty of rich 70 year 
olds... What you are asking is for a state-of-the-art drive (4.5Gb AV) for a 
knock down price. Wouldn't we all...
