Not sure what the 670H is... sounds like a more generic part for the
6000-series drives (C302x, C304x, etc).  Not sure about
the future support life, but if you have a SCSI channel stick with SCSI --
in an old 6000-series minitower you have 7 half-height slots you can fill
with at least C304x drives (2Gb) and there may be a 4Gb equivalent by now.
This stuff should be available cheap from 3rd parties.

If you want to go dirt cheap, since you have the Coyote enclosures, you can
also do the HP-IB C2203's at 1.2 Gb each
although you're pretty much obsolete when you get them.

FWIW - we're in the same boat (sinking even faster) with a wide variety of
7933s, 7936s, 7937s 2203s, and 30xx drives.
Only the SCSI has even a dim future at this point, although none of the 3rd
party people seem to even be interested in them (except a few offers on the
30xx drives).  The HP-IB stuff you can pretty much kiss goodbye.
