I picked up a few spare ProFile drives there, but they tended to want too
much money for them (often over $100), and I was only buying spares because
I knew they were unreliable.

It's a shame that we don't often recognize which stuff is worth saving
while it is still easy to find.

I've been trying to identify which recent stuff is worth saving, and my
(hopefully false) conclusion is, "none of it."

Anybody care to hazard guesses at what products are actually being
manufactured now, that you'd want to have in your classic computer
collection ten years from now?
