   this sounds like a pair of fujitsu drives i have some time ago.. 30 plus years,
   both of which only died recently. one had an esdi interface the other scsi the
   media was identicl .. only the part #, ok teh cable plug connectors would giove
   them away.

   these drives would keep coffee drinkble i.e. hot in summer during a heatwave, i
   got badly burned twice  and you should see teh heatstains blue/yellow
   discolouration aroud teh drive motors power point .. they also kept my room
   warm.

   also one other quirk, they would rattle like  a freight train commig through
   teh bedroom at nidnihgt when maximus would start up midnight maintenece and
   they they would really shake teh room when os/2/netware started to prune/purge
   teh mailinglist/newsgroups/echomail databases.

   they don't make stuff like they used too, i suppose its called buildedin
   obscelesences or some concept like that

   life i guess..
