I have the following SCSI disk drives for sale.

1) Seagate ST225-N 20 meg 5.25" half height.
This disk formatted once with a seagate ST-01 scsi interface card and has never
worked again.  I am not sure if it is the card or the disk, or both.  The card
would not work at all in my 10 mhz XT, but it did work the time we formatted it
on a 4.77 mhz xt.  $50 as is.

2) Seagate ST225-N 20 meg 5.25" half height.
This one would not work with the seagate ST-01 card.  Taking it to a freinds
house it came up as a 'printer' in the sense scsi bus screen of the low level
format routines of an always tech scsi host adaptor.  This one was origionaly
from a mac shoebox if that makes any difference..  $50 as is.

3) Miniscribe 8425S 20 meg 3.5 half height.
This is a cute lil thing.  It comes up, makes noise and the ST-01 card will
not find it.  Again, this one was from a mac if that makes any difference.
$50 as is.

4) Computer Memoryies Inc 6426-S 20 meg 5.25" full height.
This is an ST-412 interface MFM drive.  It will not format with my adaptek RLL
controller.  It may format with an MFM controller.  $25 as is.

5) Shugart MLC5A 10 meg 5.25" half height.
This is an ST-412 interface MFM drive.  It will not format with my adaptek RLL
controller.  It may format with an MFM controller.  $15 as is.

All of the above drives are in good condition.  No dings, no scratches.  They
have not been opend and all the seals are still intact.  None of them sound
like the heads have crashed.  I am mostley looking for cash, but I could also
use 2 megs of 100ns or faster 256K by 1 dips.
