Do the math:
	The adapters are $25 ea. (and it's 1 per drive!)
	Then you need a ribbon cable to go from the adapter to the drive
($25ea. You have to have them made!)

	It works out to around $150 to put the drives in!
	So before I did that, I thought I'd check to see if anyone else had a
system that could use them, and wanted to trade. If this turns up dry, then
I'll bite the bullet, and get the adapters.
