[thegasgiant]

My company has on old Toshiba Tosdic 246 DCS process control system and require a replacement 19 inch rack mounted Winchester 40MB hard drive. Does anyone know of where I might be able to pick one up?

Many thanks,

Paul.

Unless you get lucky and find someone who still has one laying around in a junk box, good luck. I think those are almost classsified as antiques.
Has your company given any thought about updating that stuff.

I dont know whether the hardware would require a drive precisely that size,
If your company has some old computers lying around, you could go on a scavenger hunt and see if you could find some old drives you could try.
