Quantum is the actual manufacturer. The drive they use is the Quantum
Prodrive 105S (at least, that's the one in our 3/80). An alternative is
the CDC/Imprimis Swift 3.5" with embedded SCSI, which has a faster seek
time (15ms) and higher capacity (up to 200MB).
We ended up ordering the 200MB synchronous SCSI Swift for our diskless
SPARCstation 1's. The only problem I see is getting the right mounting
brackets to install the drive inside the machine. The SCSI and power
cables are easy to build and/or buy.
