Clark, Could this really be a true story? The few boxes that attach to mainframes would have triggered a SIM the moment someone unlatched and pulled the drive - a highlighted, non-scrolling error message on the console.
And of course the box would have called home to report the failed drive, and within an hour or two the CE/FE would have been asking where the missing drive canister had gone. Any computer room worth it's salt would have a log of who had gone in and out and the culprit would have been nabbed before you could say rumplestiltskin. A box of spares next to a MF perhaps... Sounds like an urban myth to me. Ron PS That would be a hell of a PC running SSA or FCP HBAs. > > A couple of years ago, disk drives were stolen from an IBM outsourcing > centre here in Canada.
