I actually purchased one from him.
It works fine, except it
1) doesn't work with A/UX (A/UX does not recognize TimesTwo disks).
2) doesn't work with A/UX's mac partition. 
3) not stable, sometimes you have to reboot the system from non-timestwo
   disk, after it recognizes the timestwo disk, you can reboot from timestwo
   disk. (So, you have to pray that it will not be dead forever, :-))
4) I don't think it's 100% transparent. (Play with your imaging software)
5) I guess TimesTwo is not supported any more ???
