I have since found someplace that includes them in their ad, and
apparently pretty reasonably priced. Worldwide Technologies has an ad in
the most recent Windows magazine. (Which, I might interject, I bought
because the cover seemed to insinuate there was something about the new
Dilbert screensaver inside. Instead there was a totally non-funny
column/prediction by Scott Adams and _one_ Dilbert cartoon. Kiss my
fanny, Windows magazine)
Anyways. They list 4 companies. One, Seagate, I will not bother with as
all their drives are 19mm high. John Kim has said in the past, I believe,
that the drives need to be 17mm or less to fit in the case. They are also
(a) more crappily prices and only half of those are listed rather than
"CALL" (xlation: price sucks) and (2) 16ms.
They have what is probably the best bet for a case-swap manuver, IBM
drives. 250M is $284, 340M is $374 and 520M is $524. ($1.136, $1.10 and
$1.008 per megabyte, if you care) Access speed not listed.
They list a larger range of Toshibas, which I will simply list by meg/price:
126/199, 213/275, 258/295, 340/344, 524/524. All are 15ms. Do your own
math, but the bottom line is if you're gonna shoot for 500M like I am,
price is the same, give or take 4M.
There is one Quantum IDE listed: 256 for $345. Phooey.
If anyone orders before me (I think I'll do so in mid-jan) let me know
how it all works out.
The phone number is 1-800-636-6792 or fax:215-922-0116. 9-9 EST.
