I suppose being hand-made piece by piece isn't very economical. Also, parallel SCSI disks are starting to become scarce. I have a couple of clients whose servers are parallel SCSI and I have advised them to invest in some spare drives while NOS is still available.
Seeing this CMD-4000 repro reminds me of the Rear Admiral clone of the Xetec Lt. Kernal. I can't recall the name of the guy that was selling them, but he didn't offer them for long once the reality of the Commodore-compatible hard drive "marketplace" settled in. I also recall he produced a CMD clone...with the same non-results. His occasionally-abrasive personality may have been a factor.
I wish this guy luck with his superannuated CMD-4000, but suspect he's going to find even fewer customers than did the Rear Admiral clone.
That was Jeff Jarian. He also produced a Lt. Kernal clone.

Ah, yes, now I recall him.
