Okay so the hard drive in my server is failing, its 5+ years old
so it isn't unheard of I guess. Anyways not only I cannot afford
to waste cabbage on a behemoth, but I don't need that much space.
It is currently using a 1 gig drive.
My question is does anybody have:
a) a small (8 gig >=small>= 1 gig) IDE drive or 2 that ought to
last quite a bit longer that is gathering dust and they would be
willing to part with (for a modest fee?)
b) know of any locations where I might accquire such a thing.
Unfortunately the MIT swap meet was last weekend...
Thanks much
