If you haven't already got one, I'll ship a 2GB to you for $5.00 plus
the cost of shipping.
I already threw out or donated most of the ones I had here, but I still
have a couple left.
IBM-DORS-32160, 2160MB, 50-Pin
Seagate ST32550N, 2GB, 50-Pin
If you want one in an external case, and with a SCSI cable and
terminator to connect it to the back of the S900, I'll throw that in for
$5.00 more.

Make sure it's a true 50pin SCSI and not a 68 or 80pin drive with an
adapter because they can be a pin sometimes. A 50pin SCSI ut of a Mac
will plug in and can be formatted using your OS 9 CD utilities and
install OS 9 with no problems at all. 2GB will be plenty of space for
a scanning station but 4GB would be better for Photoshop.
There is at least one seller on Ebay who lists drives as 50 pin in
the Subject (title) line but when you read the small print down in
the Item Description, you find that it is an adapted drive--and even
that fine print is a little weasly. You have to pay close attention
to realize they're saying it's an adapted drive from 80 pin SCA. So
be careful.
My favotite SCSI's are Quantum brand becuse I have had several and
they se em to last longer.
I like the IBM brand drives myself because they seem quieter. But I
like my Quantums too.
Watch out for the Seagate Barracuda ST32550N. This is a true 50 pin
drive, but it's from about 1995, sounds like a jet engine, exhales
heat like a forge and is very slow by today's standards (~6 MB/s true
performance).
However, the four that I have, have been rock solid reliable. They
were a RAID in my main machine (pre-Umax) for several years with no
problems. Of course, I added six extra fans to that machine for the
heat, and lined the inside of the case with speaker batting to absorb
the noise...
