I don't know who you are Mark (though your headers indicate you're mailing from
the US) but the real catch is that you're not getting any kind of a deal. I can 
get Seagate U-DMA 66 4.3/6.5/8.6 G drives for 173/203/231 DM incl. VAT. I'm not 
sure if Mark's 75 is dollars or punts. If it's dollars it's about 10% cheaper than 
these prices for old kit (and it's spam, contrary to his disclaimer, and it's time 
we re-considered our policy on who can post), and if it's punts . . .



Kindest regards,
