I am a bit dismayed by the extremely high prices of the two SCSI floppy disk
drives for the NeXT (>=$575). After all, for this price, one can buy a PC with
a 3.5" drive plus an ethernet card.

I would purchase such a drive for about $400, though. If there are sufficiently
many people in my situation, we may get together and influence the sellers to
lower their price to the $400 level. So, if you are interested, please drop me
a note. comp.sys.next next owners should have enough monopsony power to
influence pricing...
