Mine have 5.25" Xebec drives. One has a model 4020, another model 
4000. The drive itself has a 50 pin edge connector.  I haven't heard 
anyone mention anything about replacement drives in the last 5 or 6 
years I've had a Sider. If anyone knows of any replacement drives I'd 
be happy to hear about it.

I cleaned out a Sider dealer a number of years ago and ended up with 
a bunch of dead drives. With no likely replacements I converted a couple 
to SCSI. Still have a few dead ones in case I come accross some replacement 
drives.
