G'Day

 Are there any companies out there whose off-the-shelf products are
space-qualified ? I ask this since a colleague at IKI told me that 
they had flown many standard PC hard discs as onboard storage devices 
and had great success. I just wondered what other components might be
out there which are standard and space-qualified. I don't imagine
for one minute that these components will be chosen for major space 
missions since they are just not expensive enough. Maybe the UOSAT
folks will be willing to give them go...
