FS: Hitachi DK14FA-20 (FRU P/N:92P6083) HDD from x40

I just, after several weeks of trying, successfully cloned my x40 to a new hitachi 60GB HTC drive!
I now have a perfectly good 20GB travelstar available. Currently it has a full WIN XP PRO SP2 update, and all the latest X40 updates. It also has RnR 3.1 and CSS.
If anyone is interested in this drive, I would gladly remove RnR and CSS and send it off the way it is. OR i could repartition it leaving the RnR partition, or do yet another raw WinXP push to it, or strip it completely, etc.
Let me know how you would like it configured. I'd like $90 (via paypal), and that will also cover shipping anywhere in the continental us.
please PM me, or send me email (remove "spammer") at:

Typo? A quick search at Newegg shows, one can get a new 100GB drive for 90 bucks...

Nope, no typo! This is the
1.8" form factor drive for the x40/41 12" screen ultralights. These 1.8" form factor drives are expensive, and they aren't even speedy. Either way, they are the only game in town for the ultraportables.
I just paid 150 bucks for the 60GB from New Egg, and I used pricewatch.com to see what the 20gb go for these days, and they start at $90+ shipping.
Plus, this part is genuine IBM hardware, with updated firmware and a fully functional rescue partition. That may or may not be valuable to someone.

Well, now that sucks! Prices always keep coming down.
In light of that, I will say
$75 bucks shipped. I am
really not trying to stiff anyone here. I just want to sell the drive, and hoped that it contained all the IBM bits might be of some interest/help to someone.
I'll give it a few days before i send it to craigslist and ebay.
