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)
