Stop the presses. I'm posting this only because mail to you bounced from where I'm at. I know you've probably heard lots of things about Abel Supply, both bad and good. But I must point out that they have never done me wrong, yet. I deal with a fellow named Steve. He is very helpful and responsive. He even took back a GenOne genlock, no questions asked, because I didn't think it measured up. I originally bought my Quantum 80s form Hard Drives International for $775 thinking it was the hottest deal. Then I asked Steve (from Abel) if they would stock Quantum drives (they've added the GVP 030 board and other things just because I asked). Now I see that I could have gotten the same 80s drive from Abel for about $635 (forgot the actual price, but $635 is close) and the 105s for _$715_!!! THAT is a smokin deal. In fact, I'm about to sell my old Seagate and get the 105s from Abel. I suggest you give them a call (late afternoon Eastern time is best) and try to get a hold of Steve (tell him I sent you). I know a number of people that have gotten the 105s from Abel and love it. Hope that helps. Sorry I don't have their number handy here. Call 615-555-1212 for information, Sevieville TN. You can get Abel's number their. Joel Swan (I don't work for, or with Abel. Though I have bought lots 'o goodies from them.)
