[rescue] compaq external drive array

[alex at lava-net.com]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's pre dec...the drives are 4.3gb fullheight 
seagates, half compaq firmware and half regular seagate, and I believe 
them to be original, so it's probably from around 95/96...
Iirc, the drives are standard 68-pin that have an adapter to convert 
to some priprietary compaq hotplug system.
