Apparantly a few sellers realize there is a demand for old obsolete scci 
drives on ebay.
maxtor 540s 540meg drive $195 selling price....
Connor cp30540 540meg drive $173
So its price is dictated by the fact that not too many people will be 
selling these in the first place making them harder to come by.

 I just snagged the connor one for $20 shipping included and installed it in 
my sampling keyboard.

any readers here holding onto vintage computer items
if so whats the reason?

This keyboard and another piece of gear I have uses 3.5 inch double sided 
double density floppys. Those are getting harder to find also.
