How much do you want for it? Or do you want to do a hardwar etrade or something?

Well I'll have to dig it out of the big box of hard drives but if you want to buy it that will be $15 plus shipping.
If you want to swap hardware, what do you got?

Here it is.

It's an ST32151N 50-pin scsi drive to which I remember had NeXTStep 3.3 running on it for a while.

cool :) Do you need/want anything specific? I have an 11' mono video cable which I rarely see for sale... Some NeXT branded serial cables... extra Non-ADB keyboard/mouse etc etc

Can you verify these work with the NeXT? Some of those disks had custom firmware in them for HP et al. and do not work properly (I found out the hard way...).

It's a good idea.  I will install NS3.3 user and dev and patches on it. If it works properly, potential buyer will get confirmation that the drive works with NeXT black hardware. After i will remove NS because i don't want any copyright problem with Apple.

If you have more than one drive and the NS3.3 installation works, then email me offline - I have the Nebula distribution you're looking for.

Title: good place for old drives

I have bought memory and old drives from them.  Everything worked and they have a nice selection.  If you live in Silicon Valley, it's even easier to visit them.

I have had NeXT problems with the big IBM 9GB drives, but it was easy to get nice 1-2 GB drives which are easy to setup, like the Seagates.

I have to pull out.
Something really nasty came up and I am unable to supply a drive for you.

I'm pretty sure I've got a ton of 4+ drives that should work with that.
