[rescue] SparcStation Voyager - hard drive

[Ken Hansen]

Mike,

Who used them before you got them - govt, private company? Just curious how
you came into upwards of 6 (or more) of these rare machines...

BTW, www.powerbook1.com is now sellig 10 gig HDs w/IDE-SCSI adapter for
$399 - used to be 6.4 gig...

Ken
