Hi,
does anybody know where I could get a cheap replacement for my
Sun Voyagers 2.5" SCSI Harddisc?
Thanks,
Chris

Good luck - 2.5" SCSI disks are as rare as hen's teeth. But
what might be a good replacement is to get a 2.5" IDE disk,
with one of those IDE <-> SCSI doohickies. Maybe one day
I'll get round to getting one of those for my Voyager.

Nearly impossible.. :/

Either you buy an 2.5" IDE disk and then build some special cabeling
and use a IDE-SCSI adapter, or if your hardware (dont know what a
Sun Voyager is) have room for it, fit a 3.5" SCSI drive with an adapter.

I own an old RDI Powerlite (wich is basically a SparcStation5 compatible
laptop) that I intend to do the later on, I actually found a harddrive
that would fit over two of the 2.5" diskslots, however that harddrive
was just 500megs and my 2.5" disks are 500megs each so it was a bad idea,
however seagate list that a disk with the same formfactor exist in larger
sizes too, up to 4Gigs I think, so I'm looking for such a drive


...You can also try to find a old apple powerbook, they also used 2.5" SCSI
disks, however they are usally very small in sizes, I got an old powerbook
for free, but it only had a 210meg (?) harddrive..


...By the way, if someone managed to get Solaris8 to work with the
powersaving stuff in the RDI powerlite.. please tell me
