I have an Ehman external drive with a non-working Seagate ST 157N 45MB drive in it. I want to find a replacement drive for it but I can't seem to find an affordable exact match. Theres a guy on ebay that has one but he wants $225 for it, really?

It has a 10 pin SCSI ID port to the left of the SCSI port and this is where the ID switch plugs in on the Ehman. Does anyone know what other drives have a 10 pin SCSI ID port like this?

Here's a pic of the actual plug:

It looks like only some of the wires are used, so you could change the connector to a more common 6 pin, or make an adapter. Those 0.1 pitch IDC connectors are pretty standard.

This place has a ST-157N listed for $44, still a bit high IMO but a LOT more reasonable than greed-bay.

I found a match on ebay, yay! Now I have my old Ehman zero footprint drive working great.
