I recently went through the same logic that you did about upgrading to the
Sider C46.  (I'm not into BBSs, however)  So, I called the Sider people last
Friday and they said "C46 is just coming out for the Mac, and it is not
available for the II line." (or words to that effect).  I inquired about
their advertising policy since their ads clearly discuss the II line, but
the conversation went downhill very quickly.

I hear a lot of good about the Sider harddisks, but I am put off at this
point and will stay with my current 40 MB systems and the hours needed to
do a backup.

An alternative seems to be the CMS systems.  Discount prices on 60 MB and
80 MB around $1K and $1.2K; they don't solve the backup problem, however.

Good luck,
Bud
