I am looking for any of the following SCSI hard drives please:
Micropolis 1578-15 50-pin SCSI 5-inch full-height 332MB
Micropolis 1684-07M 50-pin SCSI 5-inch half-height 340MB
or any Unisys branded SCSI drives.
Some appear on eBay but the seller prices exceed my budget, especially
once shipping costs to Australia are included, so looking for someone
who might have some of these drives that they would like to part with
for a modest price+postage costs.
thanks.

Some sources say this is the same as a RZ55 which may be easier to find
Micropolis 1684-07M 50-pin SCSI 5-inch half-height

Or it could help drive up the price for the drives. Is there any
Ultrix requirements to use these drives? Were they used on VMS
boxes? It is less likely they'd be on a PDP-11, but still possible.
If there is a large customer somewhere in the worlds that needs
'exact part' replacements, things tend to go up in value. :-(
Something else to consider is that shipping a full height 5.25" HD,
even inside the US isn't cheap. It wasn't cheap 12 or so years ago
when I was messing with such things, and costs have only gotten worse.
