[rescue] WANTED: Older IDE/ATA/PATA 500gb drives

[stephen price]

> Color me amused that 500GB drives are considered "old"  :)

It's funny I know !!
I can't even buy them locally anymore.
I've been looking at the local swap meet - craigslist etc - they seem to have
vanished.

{Fry's} is running sata 500gb for $59 locally today - I'd given thought of
slapping a sata-to-ide converter on a few - but even then 8 x 60 is outsid e
the cost constraints of the project I want to do.
