No idea, honestly.

Hmm, that's a 1.05/1.06GB Hawk 2LP ....  almost certainly not the same
mechanism.  The 11200 is a half-heignt drive in which the case is a
full-depth, squared-off "tub" with a thin flush-fitting sheet metal
"lid".

They have God's own head magnets.

Hm, I have a whole pile of DEC carriers myself with 4G drives in them.
I know they're Barracudas inside the cans, but I don't know *which*
Barracuda model.


Saaaayy.....   if they're narrow-SCSI, I bet I could drop one (or two)
in the FrankenG3.
