Here is another approach - note that while _I_ dont use it, many electronic
acquaintences do:

CMS has an 80 meg drive for about $1200, including the SCSI card.  If you
chose the A2P model, it comes partitioned into 2 32 meg drivers (the largest
that prodos can handle at this time) and formatted for ProDos.  I have seen
this drive advertised under $1000 ...
