After my hard drive (a 72 MB WREN II) died on my
3b2/400, I have been trying to find a way to install
a half-height hard drive for now (until the WREN II's get 
fixed). Currently we are using about 40MB of the &2 MB
drive. Could I use a 62 MB hard drive for holding
unix and /usr, etc. ? WOuld this be a HD72 or would
it have to be something different?

And what about vendors: maxtor, microscience, rodime?

(The half height will eventually migrate into a 7300,
after the WREN II's are fixed.)
