I never thought I'd use the ones I had in older comps so didn't
remove/store them. Fair chance I could find one where I live, but most
likely will be in an old PC. :-) If so, I'll just use the old PC. IIRC
there may be IDE card issues I might have to deal with in my Ubuntu
box. Not sure I want a semipermanent install on that box.

I found a new 5.25" drive online - for $180, with the note: "It can be
difficult or impossible to install these drives in a modern
computer." :-))
