On eBay there are tons of bare IBM drives listed.
Not sure if this a good or bad thing :)
Probably just an availability thing.

Feasible/difficult to put one of these into a generic scsi case?
I imagine this shouldn't be too difficult, as the individual drive should just be a (possibly full height) 5 /14" device.

Some of the IBM drives are listed as Fiber Channel.
Anyone know if their FC interface is an easily
removed FC -> SCSI converter?
FC is expensive, even adaptors and such are expensive. I think you're better off just looking for a SCSI device.
