I've got a Baby/36 that, I swear, I'm going to convert into an end table one of these days - with the lights still working.

I pulled the drive and held it in my hand during the last IPL attempt. I felt it spin up, and I felt the disk arms move on at least a couple of occasions (internal self test?). I wonder if the interface hardware on the drive has given up.I've located a source for drives - $100 each.Cheap, but, the last workload on the machine was supporting a customer that didn't have LAN's and VPN's until recently, and as of today, I'm connected to their shiny new VPN. Fare thee well D04. I know JHHL's D02 recently died, and now my old friend has passed on to the ether as well. Not bad to get thirteen, almost fourteen, years out of it. Now, what can I reuse the case for? If I outfit it with wheels and drawers, it would make a pretty cool tool box. A friend suggested converting it into a set of bird houses. Another suggested a mail box, but I think it would look funny. It's almost right as a bench. I could toss it off the end of my dock and use it for 'artificial reef'. Your suggestions welcome! Thank you. Regards, Rich
