In the waning days of SCSI, there was some interesting products.

The old 1, 2, 4 and 9 GB drives have given way to 18 and 36 GB, and,  
later, to 72 GB, each in a 68-pin form factor (LVD/SE for the later  
ones).

I bought a few Quantum Atlas 10K drives, and also some Fujitsu 10K  
drives. These, understandably, ran pretty hot.

Times have really changed. I am now running Intel boxes with OSx86  
and 1 TB drives. Oh, and a single Digital Audio for Mail.app and  
Classic.
