You know, I have had no desire to collect hard disk drives, but I
have always wanted a real st-506 because it was definitely a
computer "first". I look for them, but they are either non-existent
or the ones offered are in extermely sad shape.

SOme day, I'm gonna turn one up, NOS, new in the box. Right. Then
I'll wake up. Gawd I hate when that happens.

BTW, didn't the HDA for the profile use a different (Apple) logic
board, vice the original Seagate one?
