I think I have a couple that are under 10 gig, I know one made it overseas, but i pretty sure that was a 2 gig. Anyway, let me know what you are looking for and Ill check. Price will be right, shipping rounded up to the next dollar for packaging.

Wow...I was almost certain it was a typo. I've got a couple of 3.5" desktop drives that are that capacity, but nothing for a laptop. Sorry.

I have a 1.08GB drive (Hitachi DK223A-11) and I should have a 60mb somewhere. Although the latter doest quite work, the moment you cut power, it erases everything...

It was running in a 286 Compaq until recently. It still seems solid though. Passes OSX drive test.

PS: May I suggest a PATA to CF adapter with a small CF card? It did wonders for my Atari...

So is it a 2.5" laptop drive or a 3.5" desktop drive you need?

I have six 1/2 gig 3.5 inch desk top drives. They are yours for shipping, rounded up to the next dollar for packaging. All will fit in a Medium Flat Rate box.

Let me know
