Due to the number of cards and the capability of the
Apple High Speed SCSI card, they are worth $60 to
$70 used.  That's about half the original value.  And
that's what they go for most of the time.  That's not
unreasonable.  So it might actually be cheaper to
get a 500MB Focus drive from Alltech Electronics
http://www.allelec.com/ and save the trouble.  The
Alltech card goes for $79 and comes with the OS
preinstalled plus a library of shareware and freeware.
Should you want to upgrade in the future, the card
can support a drive up to 2GB in size.  You simply
swap the larger notebook mechanism for the one
on the card.
