It was a joke...
I recently went through a box of about 6 RD53s, trying to find one to fix
one gone bad in a Xerox Daybreak, a few worked for a while and then went
bad as they all seem to. I ended up tossing all of them, and using Seagate
ST4096 instead -- still running (crosses fingers..)

Actually it isn't a joke. They actually are quite valuable.

Actually
a _working_ RD53 ought to be worth quite a bit since they are
so rare ;-)

True, but unless you *MUST* use them, and there are reasons why some people
must use them, do you really want to trust *YOUR* data to one? I'm sure not
about to trust my data to one. Shoot, my free time is to valuable to use one
in a system where I'm just playing around with the OS!
