I think that a great many of us are being RIPPED OFF by unscrupulous dealers.
My advice is that whenever you get ANYTHING from a dealer, be it MAC+,
Hyperdrive, ANYTHING that you call the manufacturer first and ask what you
should get from the dealer.  Then make VERY sure that the dealer provides it.
I have had many problems in this regard. Not providing manuals, stickers, spare
parts, etc.  It would not suprise me at all if the dealer kept your adapter (or
would have if it was available) and then would be more than happy to sell you 
one for the $30.  Another example of this is the dealer not testing a Hyper 
after installation.  This saves him lots of time and lets him install more
in the same time period thus making more money.  Screw the user seems to be
motto here.

CAVEAT EMPTOR baby!!
