A 72 MB hard drive in one of our 3B2/300 computers failed this
morning.  The machine was in service for at least three years, so the
failure itself may be a normal occurence.  However, AT&T has
cheerfully offered to replace this drive for nearly $1600, which
seems quite expensive when compared to the overall hard drive market.

Is there anyone out there who has any experience with interfacing any
non-AT&T hard drives with a 3B2 system, or perhaps a second source for
a replacement drive?

Thanks in advance.
