If you are looking for a source for winchester disks (including Fujitsu and CDC), I'd recommend checking out "Clayton Computer Systems". They advertise in the various DEC related rags. Their prices are consistantly 20% under the other resellers. I've been a little suspecious of that, but I finally went ahead and bought from them. I got a Fuji 2344K (8" 690 MB) for $4,800 (new!). This was $1,800 less that anywhere else I found. It's been installed and running for a month now on a Sequent S81 with no problems. (other that Sequent's stupidity of forcing you to type in the manufacturers flaw map instead of reading it from the disk like everyone else...) Here are some sample Fujitsu prices for new drives: 2333K 8" 337MB $3,000 2344K 8" 690MB $4,800 2372K 8" 824MB $4,900 2351A 10" 474MB $3,200 2361A 10" 690MB $6,500 I'd buy from them again.
