What the ad says is $299 for the 820-II (with software).

It also goes on to say that the enclosure with the 8-inch disk and
10 Meg hard disk is AVAILABLE (almost, but not quite specifies $CALL).

BUT $CALL is what ya gotta do!  (I haven't done so yet, but if it was
$299 for the whole ball o wax, I'm sure that by the time I called
they'da been outa stock.)   Good Luck - if I missed a bargain, 
C'est La Vie.
