No one is making FWD (wide HVD) drives, and haven't for years. You will have to look for used units. Google on used HP equipment and you should find used HP equipment resellers. With 180 MHz processors, the K460 could be replaced with a single processor system today. HW and SW support costs would be a fraction for a new system, so it might be cost effective to consider an upgrade.
