When I've called Cydex a couple of days ago the price has gone up to $560. Also if you looked at the Australian Personal Computer Magazine April Edition, the price is $565 for the same drive on Cydex. I'm also planning to buy one. BTW do anybody knows if it would work with a Symbios 53c810 card? (I've got an MS-3805 SCSI card, which I bought second hand for a mere AUS$25. It's a devil to configure though) Anderson Lie use this e-mail for reply anderson@faraday.dialix.com.au James AUGUST wrote in message <6f8fqc$ohh$1@news.iinet.net.au>... >Roland Lau wrote in message <35146BEC.B8CBA5F0@tartarus.uwa.edu.au>... >>Hi all, >> >>Anyone know the best mail order price for a Panasonic CW7502B/C??
