The controllers are pretty common, but the Unidisk 3.5 drives are not because
they were never that popular (too expensive) or reliable.  They are coveted
now only because they work with the later models of the Apple //c and of
course, people like you who want to put it on a //e.

Patience is the key -- I looked for about a year before finding one in a local
thrift store; then suddenly, I had 4 more show up out of the blue.  These are
the best places to look: thrift stores, surplus computer shops, pawn shops and
even garage sales.  If you buy from another A2 user, or an A2 vendor, be
prepared to spend up to $100, a lot for an old, cranky drive.

I'll send you a controller if you want one.
