It's out there, and available in more than one country.

Here's one from Ultratec in the UK, for £40.00 + VAT:
http://www.ultratec.co.uk/stocklists/Search-ResShopnew.asp?model=IC25N030ATCS04-0

All 7 of the IBM drives listed on this page at Drive
Solutions match that number, for $95:

I'm not going to post this as a formal answer yet, because
I'm curious to know why you're attempting to match the drive.
If you have hopes of recovering data from another drive with
this number by switching the PCB (printed circuit board)
Controller Board, you should know that this is not always
effective, and you can lose your data. 

The model numbers of the PCBs must match, not just the drive
numbers, and the same drive models can contain PCBs with
different model numbers. Even if the PCB numbers match, it's
possible that the switch may fail. 

Let me know where this takes you...

You can find exactly what you're looking for here:

http://www.codemicro.com/

If you need further help, let me know.

Just do a search on search engines that searches for computer parts.
Search engines include www.pricewatch.com(probably your best bet, I've
already tried it and found atleast 3 places that had your hardrive),
shoppers.com or just googling.

This is the link where you can find your 30GB HARD DRIVE, as you can
see, the model and the capacity are the same that you are asking
for....i had made this answer as a comment, because there was no
"answer" button to do this...so...here's the help that you need,
question answered!!!
