I got some spare drives pulled from older systems. - Quantum 3.8GB Fireball TM (3840AT) - IDE I formatted the drive and tested it by capturing around 16 minutes of DV footage filling the whole thing up and then playing back. Looks good to me. ScanDisk reported no bad sectors. It runs on PIO/4 mode. Asking around $30 or more. - Conner 420MB (CFS420A) - IDE Surface scanned with ScanDisk and all is well. Maybe useful for a box you want to setup as a gateway, proxy, or whatever, but thats about it. Otherwise its a great doorstop, or something tho chuck out of a window to see what happens. Asking at least the price of a McDonald's value meal (supersized). =) - Quantum Lightning 540MB - SCSI Didn't run a surface scan, but low-level formatted and verified media using my Adaptec 19160 SCSI BIOS. I believe the drive was used to capture video a few years ago when it was actually considered big. This as well can be useful for a small gateway/proxy, or if you have a SCSI case, you can hook it up to a multitracker that supports SCSI drives (thats what I used it for) - Samsung 213MB (SHD-3211A) - IDE It's small and it has bad sectors at the end of the drive. Anyone who wants it can have it for free as long as they come and get it. Could be a fashionable door stop, oversized ZIP disk, or bludgeoning device -- take your pick. I will sell to the best offer I receive within a couple of days. Aite, thanks for your time. andrewfu@mediaone.net
