    Does anyone have any idea what we can do with eight
    old hard drives?  We brought down some 40's and their
    xt-1140's are just sitting around.  Can we convert these
    into drives which a G-machine can use (into esdi drives),
    if not, does anyone want to buy them?

Well, I don't know about making them useful on the G machine, but there are
boards that interface SCSI to ST-506, so then you could use them on any
machines that have an SCSI interface (e.g. SONY, SUN, Apple Macintosh,
etc.).

You're probably best off selling them. I'd expect them to be worth at least
$500. for the raw drive...
