I remember those only too well.  The last I saw at all, if not properly
"in use," was an old Seagate, I believe, in an academic library in
Pennsylvania. In 2008 it was still being used as a door stop in the
systems office when the aircon wasn't keeping the room cool. It had been
put into that service by yours truly while I worked there a decade earlier.
