If you're still interested in purchasing these drives, D.O.S.
Marketing Corp is selling the 1.2 GB drive for $875 with a 3 month
warranty, and $1000 for the same drive with a 1 year warranty.
Their number is 212-226-1626

Personally, I think you'd be better off spending a few hundred more
and buying a name-brand drive.  For example, East Coast Electronics
(508-683-0339) and Dirt Cheap Drives (800-872-6007) both sell the
Toshiba SCSI 438FB (877MB/12ms/3.5"/half height) for $1050.
