They are very hard to find.  I have a local friend who has a Voyager and he 
has resorted to netbooting and nfs shares, I believe.  Putting /var and such 
on local disk and as much of the rest on NFS might help to make that 
773-megabyte drive go a little further.  None of these computers are going 
to win any speed awards, anyway.  :)

In case you do find a source of drives, please let me know and I'll pass the 
information along to my friend.

This might destroy the look of the machine... but is there an external SCSI 
port?  That's another option.
