Hi John -

I am also in Toronto.  I may have some bits and pieces you need, but it
would take a while to dig them out.

I also have a Mega STe.  I wouldn't mind finding some of those Quantum
drives on ebay.  Perhaps the folks you bought off has tons and they sell in
lots of five (I can hope, eh?).

David in Toronto
