[rescue] need a high cap 50 pin Cheetah

[Kevin]

I've got a couple of the adapters but haven't tried them on
the PVR yet.  I see no reason why it would not work, but i'd
rather just get a few 18 gig narrow Cheetahs.  One less
potential point of failure.  Of course an older drive might be
more prone to fail then a newer one..... who knows.
