	Of course, getting an Apple DMA or RamFAST SCSI card and a cheap
SCSI drive (including removables) is likely a far better choice than getting
a ProFile card (unless it's almost free)...   Anyhow, even with that 
reservation, remember that Sun Remarketing advertizes that they sell everything
that Apple has ever released.   They're in the Apple II FAQ.
