I own 2 sickly 2B2/300's with XM modules, whose prime ailments of the moment
are lack of hard disks (they've eaten 3 out of the 4 I have, usually during
brownouts).  Official AT&T dealers seem to want mucho megabucks for what
seem to me (a hardware ignoramous) to be rather basic looking CDC Wren II's
and the like.  No controllers, no power supply, but prices way past what I'd
pay for a comperable PC disk.

     Am I missing something here?  There should be a cheaper source of what
seems a commodity product.  I've no intention of spending a lot of wealth
on the care and feeding of dinosaurs.
