  You're way too slow! Who do you think found this and told Steve about
it? And THEN helped him load it. The ESDI drives are the 7957/7958/7959
series. They're about 80, 158 and 300 Mb capacity. I think there's a 7957
on E-OverPay right now.

 They turn up at radio rallies (hamfests) from time to time
