SparcStations use the same old SCSI drives that everyone else uses these
days.  The SparcStations we have around here each have 2 100 meg Quantum
drives.  Not cheap as compared to the run of the mill (eg, slow) 40 meg
ST-506 drives for your PC-AT, but certainly well within the realm of
the normal personal computer owner budget (we use various Quantums in
Amigas).  I'd expect the NeXT could use 'em as well.
