Eventually, there might be. IDE drives from 300-500 (but under the
540MB BIOS limit of early 386s) are still somewhat sought after. I
wouldn't expect more than $5 for each drive though.

Speaking of which...does it make sense to
start preserving
(hoarding) older, low-capacity hard drives, be they IDE or SCSI, for
smaller machines? They seem to be drying up fast.
I've been doing that for some time, and probably have about 50 or so stockpiled.
BUT, it may be just a waste of time. I put up 20 100-450 MB IDE and SCSI HDs on
VCM, then Ebay, and back on VCM more out of curiosity to see if there was a
demand. Right now, there doesn't seem to be.
