Need Source for HP-9000 Differential SCSI Drive

[Derek Mark Edding]

Hi Folks,

One of the drives in my HP-9000 K-Series appears to be toast after a power
glitch last week. It isn't readable and fsck reports POWERFAIL.

Are there places online that sell these drives? If not, or not cheaply,
can I get an adapter for a regular SCSI drive that will make it work?

Thanks!

The drives show up frequently on epay, at least here in germany.
Mostly HP badged Seagate Barracudas of 2 and 4 GB.
If your drive has a _mechanical_ defect its _sometimes possible to
swap the PCB with a SE drive and after a LLF its usable.
I tried this vice versa to get HVD drives working on SE controllers.
Got some spare drives as well as HVD PCBs for different Barracudas,
but no HVD wide controller to check them and shipping will be an issue.
