Doug:  I asked the same question not too long ago and luckily
I found a local answer.  A small start-up here in San Jose is
taking IBM-type drives, plugging them into a scsi board, adding
a power supply, and selling the drives.  I went there to buy
a fast 30M drive, but when I found their 80M drive was only
$750 I decided to buy that instead.  As I recall, their 20M
drive (based on a Seagate 225) was about $350;  the 40M about
$500.  If you need/want to reach them, let me know and I'll
email or phone the address to you.  I've enjoyed the drive 
for 2 months now with no problems, and it's guarenteed for
a year. Not bad I'd say!
