Brother, can you spare a couple of SCSI SCA disks?

Hello, world!

  GNHLUG has an Internet server (it runs this list, amongst other
things).  It has a pair of 18 GB disks (mirrored).  That is kind of
small, by today's standards -- especially if we want to start doing
things like hosting videos of meetings.  It was pointed out that we
might have people on this list who have suitable hardware they would
be willing to donate to the cause.  So if anyone has such, or comes
across such, please let me know.

  The one wrinkle is that they must be 3.5-inch, 1/3-height, SCSI,
80-pin SCA (single connector attachment) disks.  That's all that will
fit the 1U server we have.

  (Yes, I'm aware that SATA disks are cheap.  Thing is, they're not
cheap if you have to buy a new 1U server to put them in.)

  GNHLUG is a registered with the state of NH as a non-profit
corporation.  However, GNHLUG does *not* currently claim any status
which would make donations tax-deductible.  But you'd get a warm,
fuzzy feeling inside.  Plus a plug on the list and our website, if you
want.

  Thanks for listening.
