I got my 2meg StarboardII from Abel Supply for $430.31 several months ago.
I have yet to find a lower price.

	Abel Supply
	Rt 3, Box 705, Middle Creek Road
	Sevierville, TN 37862	(Dolly Parton's hometown)
	Voice (615) 428-5100   -  BBS (615) 453-0643

and while I'm here, some questions:

1) Anyone know how difficult it would be to switch to 1meg chips to get 8megs?
2) Anyone got the Multi-Function Module?  Comments?
3) Anyone know more about the rumor that MicroBotics is developing a SCSI
	daughterboard for the StarboardII?
