Probably me... ;-)

The drive & SCSI controler can be had from C-Limited (C-Ltd). (I don't have
the phone number handy but they advertise alot...)

I have no idea about the GVP controller.

The drive is (in a word) FANTASTIC!
I use it alot! I have a LaserFont disk (Full), PD games disk (Full),
backups for 3 10MB partitions of my hard drive, PD Source disk (Full,
starting #2), and a just-started UUCP disk with news (probably Full by
the time I get home ;-}).
