Previously, I posted a note here asking where I can get brackets to
mount SCSI disks in my RS/6000 530.  A kind gentleman from IBM sent me
the part numbers but said that he was unable to obtain the brackets.

The funny thing is that I had no trouble getting the brackets, given
that I had the part numbers.  I drove to the IBM parts department in
downtown L.A. (fifteen minutes from Caltech) and was able to buy
brackets from stock.  IBM charges customers $25 service charge to
place an order.  I figured that I would buy extra brackets just in
case, so I would only have to pay one service charge.

So, the question is, does anybody need a bracket to add a SCSI disk to
an IBM RS/6000 530?  If so, I'll let them go for $30 each, I pay
shipping.  You'll have to provide a fan, but the are easy-to-obtain
items.
