While we're talking about drives, I saw the following "good" drive prices:
Maxtor EXT-4380  (335MB, 28ms, 10ESDI) $950
Maxtor 8380E  (335MB, 14.5ms, 15ESDI) $1195
MiniScribe 9380E (335MB, 16ms, 10ESDI) $895

Since I don't know if I should post the company's name/##, I won't, but
I will be happy to mail it to you if you are interseted.
(I mention these prices simply because I'm buying the Maxtor 8380E and saw
the previous post)
John.
