I suggest Soren sends to -hackers an overview of what he bought. I
can probably buy some more for very little $ (the company I work
for (DEC), every now and then sells drives that come from dismantled
machines but are still functional. The prices hover around Dfl 10-20
which means $ 8 - 15 each). I suppose these drives are suitable enough
to get 'farm' of drives for testing.

Only problem left is getting 'm to Soren. Please note: I cannot predict
when these sales are going to take place, I'll have to wait 'n see.

Is this a good proposal?
