I have a pair of Kalok drives, a KL320 and a KL330 (20 and 30 Mbyte,
perhaps?), each on a sort of "hard card" thing for a PeeCee. The
interfaces are apparently made by Seagate.
I do not know what is on them, or even if they work. Any interest out
there? If not, I am going to scrap them out.

Kalok?! AHHHHHHH!!!!
Seriously, I've had awful experiences with the few Kalok drives I tried,
and I've heard other horror stories as well. They are known to be one of
the least reliable drives ever made, and Kalok themselves folded some time
ago.

Use them for sledgehammer practice, then send them to the aluminum
recycler. Can I watch? ;-)

Aside from this, every time I find Kalok hds, they are already
crashed or bad boards. Yuk.
Keep cheapo hds cooled, they tend to last longer this way.
