<<        I have a HP Netserver "LC" 486 EISA DX4-100 Mhz PC. I need to
      replace the 1 Gig hard drive with a new or refurbished drive. I want a
      drive that is in the 2-4 Gig range. On the mother board is an Adaptec
      2740 controller that supports SCSI-II.

         Any non-HP solutions out there that work? In PC Today magazine I
      found:

      VENDOR    #MEGS MODEL#    msec    PRICE   Meg/sec
      =======   ===== ======    ====    =====   =======
      Seagate   2.1   32151N     7.0     $469.
      Quantum   2.16  FB2.1S    10.0     $399.
      Quantum   3.26  FB3.2S     9.0     $499.

      HP's prices were as follows:

      VENDOR        #MEGS MODEL#    msec  PRICE   Meg/sec
      =======       ===== ======    ====  =====   =======
      HP Surestore   2.x  D2077A    10.4   $819.  10
      HP Surestore   4.x  D4956A     8.5  1,300.  40 (SCSI-II F/WIDE ULTRA)

         I am looking for a refurbished motherboard replacement also(a new
      HP Pentium 133 motherboard, HP part #D3601A, was $1,629).

         Any help with the above, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just bought and installed an IBM DORS 2.1 gb drive SCSI-II.  It cost me
$365 at a reseller here in town.  I am sre you can do at least as good.  It
should work in the LC with no problems.

There are several mail-order companies which will sell you refurb
motherboards.  HP uses a standard Intel motherboard, so it should be no
problem.  I recommend ASUS motherboard.  I got one when I built my NT server
(133mhz Triton Chipset) for about $250 a few months back.  Make sure you have
256kb L2 cache.  You can get new MBs with USB support and such, but it will
cost you a lot more.

If you need more info (such as addresses and phone numbers), e-mail me
directly.

Kind regards,
