Actually, those Eagles you have are 10.5" drives. Earlier Fuji's, like
the 2281/82/83/84 series, were 14". (And also had nice transparent HDA
covers so you could see the heads seeking across the platters.)

Just look in any issue of _Processor_ and you'll find many minicomputer
dealers selling 8" SMD drives like the Fuji 2333's and the like. And
there's a dealer who posts to the Usenet PDP-11 newsgroups every couple
of months with 5.25" Hitachi SMD's for sale.
