You mean quarter height? Not too many, how about a Seagate 73GB 10000RPM Ultra320 Mfr # ST373307LC. I only have 1 of these, so not for $8.95 :-/ Make an offer.

do you have something suitable for an A590? 1-2 GB?

Sure, how about a Quantum PDS1225S (1.2GB) for $6? Tested and guaranteed working.

Depends on which SCSI-controller you have.

Correct, depends on the SCSI controller and likely which version roms that controller has.

And $34 for 1... Gaps, US postage fees incrased again ?
Lucky US boys !

A big question : I got 2 of theses babies, but they need a "slave" drive to be recognised.
How do you setup them on amiga ?

Problem is shipping weight is high, about 3lb each drive. If you can use multiple drives or go in with someone else, I can ship up to 8 (revised) International in a Large Flat Rate Priority Mail Box for $52.25. That brings the cost per drive down.

There is no master/slave on SCSI, but rather SCSI ID's. There are typically jumpers on the drive to change SCSI ID. Each drive and the controller itself must have a unique ID.

So for $86.55 I could get 8 drives shipped in the continental U.S.?

That is correct.
