Last time this happened to me, I took it to a place in San Leandro.  I
found it in the back of one of those free computer newspapers often found
on the streets.  You should know however that it is *not cheap*.  This was
1998 (or so) and it was a 1GB drive - cost me $900.

Hopefully prices have come down, but still, I doubt it will be cheap.

That was the most expensive term paper ever,
