IDS in Irvine, CA (714/530-8677) has ST-2106N for $679.  IME (a surplus
liquidator) in Boston (800/999-1911) has Maxtor LXT-100 (95 MB) 3.5" hh SCSI for
$299, Rodime 5180-S (144 MB) 5.25" hh SCSI for $399. 

>b) for a 1.44mb floppy disk drive (just drive ) ???

MA Labs in San Jose, CA (408/954-8188) sells 1.44 MB drives for $58.

I don't know that US prices will much help the Finnish poster, but they may be
of interest to US readers.
