Yes, exactly.  I have several of both the 2.1GB trays (cabled for narrow
SCSI internally) and the 9GB trays (cabled for wide SCSI).  Unfortunately,
the later-rev powersupplies removed the ability to run off of 120VAC, so I
have swapped them around to get the 9GB trays up and running.

Yes, this is true.  I am keeping the few 9GB disks that I ended up with
and want to sell off the 2GB and 3GB drives.  I doubt that they would be
cost-effective to ship unless drive prices in your area are extremely
inflated.

I ended up with 8 trays containing 48 disks.  The price was right.  :)
