Hi Philip,

I just got some HP Apollo 400t boxes (4 of them diskless) 
that were CPU-upgraded from MC68030/50Mhz to MC68040/25Mhz). 
So I assume I have 425t boxes now. The two HD I got with them 
(RODIME 3000T) were in bad shape.

Maybe you want to know what I read when booting hp-ux:
 [snip]
 Bit mapped video at 133 (console)
 :RODIME RO3000T, 1404,0
 [snip]

After that I get some hardware problems warning so I did not 
install NetBSD on this apparently defective HDs.

Also According to the Technical Data sheet I got from HP, 
the HDs in 400t and 425t have a formatted capacity of 200MB. 

Other specs I read from it:

Format:          3.5in, 
Aver.seek time:  18msec, 
Average latency: 8.3 msec,
Average I/O:     31.5 per sec

Data rate: 
Internal burst:    11 Mbit/sec
SCSI burst:        1.5 Mbytes/sec
Read throughput:   920Kbytes/sec

I tried a net search on the web but got very little:
