[SunRescue] Half height drives.

[Tim Harrison]

Okay, this may sound stupid, but here goes:

When I think of half height drives, I think of your common, generic
current IDE disk size.  

I ordered 3 half height 3.5" 50-pin SCSI disks from www.compgeeks.com. 
This is what my SS2s want.  So, I get them in, get in the drive
brackets, and find that the disks just don't fit.  I measured a "half
height" IDE disk, and found it to be exactly 1" tall.  The SCSI disks
are 1 2/3" tall.  I also have some 68-pin Seagate Barracuda disks here,
that are also 1" tall.  This doesn't seem to fit in the bracket or into
the box.  Am I losing my mind?  Do I not know how to fit the damned disk
into the box?  Are my measurements being completely warped by some form
of meniscus in my eye? Is my concept of half height drives fundamentally
borked?

Will our brave hero get his stupid SS2s running tonight?
