Subject: [PCBUILD] purchasing small hard drives


I've been out of the computer loop for a while and still running some old
350 and 400Mhz machines at my shop.
Can someone tell me where I can still purchase 8MB Western Digital hard
drives.I have done several web searches with varying results.I have found a
few 1.2GB drives but would prefer larger and am still running the original
WIN98.
I do have a new 20GB if someone could tell me how to install it on a old
WIN98 system.
Thank you,
Mike Bridges
