Check out Corporate Systems Center www.corpsys.com.  They are having a
half off sale on all mo cartridges. If it's not mentioned on their web
site, give them a call.  The sale is mentioned in their current
catalog.   I just picked up some 650 meg 1024 byte/sector Verbatim
cartridges for $22.50 each.   I also have one of those old Sony drives
with an adaptec scsi card and am able to use the 1024 byte/sector
cartridges.  Win 95 reports 318 meg per side.  The 512 byte/sector
cartridges formatted out to 295 meg per side.
