Well I went looking for one, for my since past birthday, and it simply wasn't
available.  One dealer said they have had one on order for a few months.
The other (who had also reccomended it), I asked about availability, they 
called me back in a few hours and said, sorry they're on back-order. Sigh.
Potential prices were quoted in US$ of $599, and up $649?? abouts.

I guess I'll punt, and go with third party...
Does anyone have technical/mountlist info on Micropolis 1372a scsi drives? 
I know someone who just might give me one.
