5.25" SMD drives

Oops... wrong key...

I have an SC21 on the way (as I mentioned elsewhere). I have some 10" and
14" SMD drives I could steal from an SI9900, but I'd like to find some
lower-power drives to play with - I'm thinking 2BSD on a Unibus PDP-11,
so anything from a couple-hundred megs and up would be great. Are
there any non-SMD-E drives in the the 5.25" size? Would anyone know
where I could pick up a couple? I remember there were SMD drives up
to 600MB in that size, but I don't have part numbers and I don't remember
the exact interface type (I just remember the ads on Usenet where the
seller was warning people that these 600MB-for-$600 drives would *not*
work on your PC).

Thanks for any help locating some smallish SMD hardware,
