Just asking: Any interest in 80-pin SCA drives, Ultra

I don't need any, but if anyone can get their hands on JBOD boxes that use these,
they're fantastic drives.
I was lucky enough to get several Andataco 3-Drive JBOD boxes (I passed on the 7-drive
units as to big, heavy, noisy, and power hungry). These are great for OpenVMS/Alpha and
Sun systems, and provide a cheap way to get decent sized SCSI drives, as most people
can't use them. I had a couple of the 3-Drive units and a DEC BA350 shelf running in
our dining room for several years (the BA350 was on a VAX).
My most recent score was some brand new 300GB SCA drives. :-) They'll allow me to
take my Alpha down to two HD's and drastically shrink its power requirements.
