Please report on the ToadFile44.  I was really surprised to see it
advertised for $899.  This is by far the cheapest price I've seen for a
SyQuest drive for *any* computer.  Other drives are plain SCSI drives, Toad
has to include an ICD host adapter also!  I really don't see how they could
be making much money with such a small margin unless they are selling direct
to end users only and have great prices on their parts.
