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.

Hi

8 months ago i had this need with a T520 machine
I bought 2 36Gb 10rpm seagate SCSI-160 and a HVD-LVD converter from
http://www.cselex.com/converter-extender-features.htm#6895
you can use it with this converter, but i don't remember if you will have enough space to put inside the disks cage of you K machine.

i hope this can helpful
