I am looking for whatever I can get!  Do you still have access to them?
I am going to experiment with some raid work, and am looking for matching
pairs of drives.  I am to use IDE or SCSI, and not afraid of smaller 2GB
drives or so.  I just need to drives to do A-B comparisons and failover
tests with.  And this is for anybody on the list, not just Joseph -- I'll
take any old drives off your hands.  (You may want to make sure you scrub
them first of any proprietary info, but I'll be reformatting them anyway
and scrubbing them myself when checking for weak or dead spots.)
