I didn't get much of a response to this inquiry, except that several
folks asked that I post what I did find out. I picked the 4 vendors
with the best prices listed in the most recent Computer Shopper,
they were:

MDS, 800-457-5461, $18.20
Diskette Connection, 800-451-1849, $18.95
ET Valueline, 800-395-1000, $20.99
CMO, 800-233-8950, $22.00

ET didn't answer the phone; CMO wanted $5 S&H, MDS $6.00, DC $4.00.
I ordered 2 3M DC2120s from Diskette Connection at 4:30pm EDT on
Friday for $37.90 + $4.00 S&H = $41.90. The UPS truck delivered them
today (Monday). I'm pleased.

Usual caveats... no connection.. satisified customer..etc.
