My guess is that any 3.5" HH SCSI mech will work with it. I'm not gonna gut my
drive to find out though since it's still humming along. Just check in
comp.sys.mac.wanted and I bet you can turn up a Quantum 80 to 100 mb for 
pretty cheap. CSU is no longer available so if you don't already have it no 
dice I guess. Doubt you'll turn up a used copy, it's too handy to part with.
I just got myself a CT-40 SCSI with a wasted drive for $20 and I plan to swap
in a Quantum 210 mb to use on my Mac Plus.
