I have a Konica drive that reads/writes 10MB servo-written 5.25" floppies.
This has an SCSI board included. Cost in Holland is ~ fl 1200, so I 
guess that they would be about $400 in the U.S. I got mine for about half
that through the Dutch Hobby Computer Club. Any Dutch people reading this
check the latest HCC Nieuwsbrief.

Note that the floppies themselves are rather expensive.
