I need a Seagate ST-419 to replace one that failed in a HP computer.
Anyone got one to spare?

I opened up the 419 drive, No wonder it failed, someone drilled a 5/16"
hole thru the cover and all three platters! This thing was mounted under a
circuit board and inside a steel case. Everything was very neatly put back
together. Who would go to that much trouble to wreck a drive and why?

Some practical joker who imagined what would be going through the head of
the poor sap (you) that found it that way :)
Either that or somebody wanted a warranty return and figured nobody would
ever go through the trouble of troubleshooting the machine?

I have an ST-4053, if that would work.

Jim,
Thanks for the offer but I don't think it will work. The 4053 only has 5
heads and the 419 has six. FWIW I tried a ST-251 (with 6 heads) and it
didn't work.
