I have arranged the purchase, here's the information: (I am sending this to all of the people who responded to my first request for information, those who responded to the anouncement about the purchase, and am posting it to the newsgroups since I expect some of the mail to bounce.) I have arranged that the dealer will sell them for $950, and accept orders from anyone who mentions this deal. He accepts MC and Visa, and he can ship outside the US. In all cases he will require the buyer to pay shipping and any appropriate sales taxes. Here are the specs again, with some additional information: (This should answer some of the questions people e-mailed me.) CDC-Imprimis Wren IV Part #94171-307 (same as 94171-350, now being sold by Seagate as ST4350N) New, 1 year warranty Full height, 5.25", Auto-park Drive-only (no external case or power supply) SCSI Interface 320 Meg formatted capacity 16ms average access time Rated MTBF: 100,000 hours To buy one of these, call ICS (Integrated Component Supply) at 805-257-6900, and ask for Tom (the president of the company). You will have to mention my name to get this price. I didn't bother to explain about the net to him, so don't be surprised if he doesn't know what you are talking about if you mention it. They are "bare" drives, so if you need them external (for Mac, Sun, Amiga, etc.) you will need to get a case, power supply, etc. They say that they will sell the drives in a case for an additional $250 - this is something I payed litle attention to, since mine will be internal. It may be worth finding your own case - I don't know. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ericz@ucscb.ucsc.edu - Eric Zamost - (408) 426-9530 | | 35 Leonardo Lane, Santa Cruz, CA 95064 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
