The original DTLA<something> and the more recent IC35<something>. The IC35 series were bigger (120GB is the most common size I've seen for those).

As a strange coincidence I was just pulling out some old data from them yesterday. -- Ville Syrjälä syrjala@xxxxxx http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
