Does anyone need any of these drives? I have 18 of them that I don't need and are just
taking up room. Anyone who's willing to pay for shipping can have some or all of them.
I can only power test them at the moment. Some are regular 8 bit SCSI 50 pin, and some are
16 bit wide SCSI 68 pin.

Hi Alex,
I might be interested in a few 50-pin drives if they're in that 400M-2G
sweet spot size-wise. What's the vendor on them? Some chance they work? :)
Thanks,
Sean

Shipping from where? I wouldn't mind picking up a couple. Thanks! -- Ian

Subject: 5.25" SCSI Drives
Does anyone need any of these drives? I have 18 of
them that I don't need an$
5.25" 68-pin drives? That's quite the novelty - I'm curious about
maker and model and such. I thought 68-pin didn't show up until 5.25"
had been abandoned in favour of...3.5", I think it is? I just measured
some and they're actually about 4" wide - perhaps 3.5" is the platter
diameter or something. (I just measured a `5.25"' drive here and it's
almost 6" wide; IIRC the 5.25" dimension came from floppies, where
medium size instead of case size or drive size is a plausible
measurement.)

Sorry for the late replies, works been tying me up lately.
Ok so here's what I have.
12x ST42400ND 50 pin
12x ST410800WD 68 pin
They are all differential SCSI
They were pulled from a Sun E6K that was functioning when received but there was no OS on
the drives so I could not fully test then.
If you are interested, send me an email personally with the subject "E6K
Drives". The drives are free if you can arrange shipping or pick them up. I am
located in Dayton, Ohio.
I can only guarantee that they power on and spin up.

They were quite common, actually. Obviously >4 orders of magnitude less so now.
