The machines that used these are basically gone. The machines and
drives that are still around are likely to be in the hands of
collectors like us, or else in the stockpiles of resellers. I know I
have a nice small collection for my PDP-11's.

Good heavens. On what planet are SCSI drives rare?
And on what
planet are they inexpensive?
Mostly just repeating what I saw here about 50 pin SCSI hard drives
of less than 10 GB. When I finally managed to purchase a few such
drives about 10 years ago, they were not that easy to find at a low price.
