What type of HD do you need?
Might be an idea to contact schools and big companies near you as I find they tend to keep hold of their old equipment for resale
Why do you need it so small?!?!? :confused:
Well you're about 1 1/2 weeks late in asking.. just sent about 12 of em to the nearest thrift store...dang-it

Damn. I've got a 20mb ST506 drive, but no IDE I'm afraid :(
WOW! That's an old drive!!
Yeah :)
It was the first hard drive we ever had, bought for our Archimedes ages ago (back when computers didn't need a hard disk to start up :rolleyes:). It's using a 250mb IDE drive now, though.
Ahhh... Yes... Parksie! Those good-old-days :rolleyes: Where we had those paper cards with punches in them ;) Great Technology!

what kind of machine is it your putting it in too. Isn't that funny back in the day there were a over abundance of smaller drives (20mb - 2gig) and now you can't seem to find them anywhere? I have been looking for a 2gig for a year now and it is like they all disappeared. I read that the big companies are trying to figure out a way to recycle old computer equipment. If they are not recycling now then where is all of the old equipment? just food for thought.
