[rescue] Holy crap, cheap UW scsi drives

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

The one bummer about those 18G drive deals is they are 1.6 inch height
drives....

I have another 12 slot Sun drive chassis just itching for 18 gig
drives.... but since it's the 12 slot unit, it can only take inch
height drives.... guess I'll have to stick with some 9 gigs that I
have...
