Older Seagate SCSI drive(s) needed.

I am looking for at least one Seagate 18.2 GB (or so) SCA 1/2 height (ST3-type) drive to go into an older HP server.

 

The server will accept any of the  ST*$$$$$WC drives, but due to the height constraints, I need an ST318$$$WC drive or larger. I am having a very difficult time finding one anywhere.

 

I can find tons of the *LC drives, but my server won't accept those, and I have not yet figured out how to add an LVD controller to it.

 

Does anyone know where I might find the desired drive?

 

Thanks in advance.

Two ideas:

 

1) http://www.google.com/products?q=seagate+wc&aq=f

http://shopper.cnet.com/1770-5_9-0.html?query=seagate+wc&tag=srch

 

 

2)  LC drives have a jumper position that will push the drive speed down to single-ended speed. You can see the jumper positions at the drive's prod manual.
