Sorry to be the messenger of bad news again, albeit it's not so much 
news as an already 3 years old history.

There are no IBM 36 Gig scsi disks and there never have been!

Last scsi disks "made by IBM" were 18 Gig sized, (over 3 years ago now 
btw), and even these already were notorious for their instant failures 
(coz there were Hitachi disks in reality). Yes, I have has 2 of these 
to, alas. And I had a bit of luck one of them under warrenty could be 
replaced by a Quantum (by local dealer courtesy).

So, 3 years ago IBM ditched HD fabrication as a whole and sold it's 
market share to Hitachi. Meaning, if you encouter a scsi disk larger 
than 18 Gig with an IBM sticker on it's face, you know for sure it's a 
Hitachi disk with the correspondent poor Hitachi (scsi) quality.

I can't recall the amount of times I've repeated this message ... will 
you guys never learn?


Anyway, if you want scsi at Ebay, go for Seagate and Quantum and nothing 
else.
