DISCLAIMER: 	I never used, nor do I know anyone that has used this 
		product ... I am just passing on info I saw in an ad ...

Wonder Systems	(415)490-6290 
	has a device called ws-ide4 that supports 2HD + 4FD for $34/1.  They 
	are also completing a 2HD+4FD+2S+1P controller for $45/1

If anyone has tried this product, please let me know how well it works as I 
am quite interested in such a product myself.
