        It's the BlueDisk card from SHH Systems in Germany.  Price is
currently $114 +shipping.

        It's still being made by Sequential Systems, and sold by them and
Quality Computers.  Beware, though: QC doesn't ship any documentation with
the card.

        ZIPs are still made, and the FAQ is kept by Frank M. Lin
(fmlin@netcom.com).

        If you just want 4 megs, the Sequential Systems 4MB card is probably
the way to go, at ~$120 if I remember correctly.  They sell another one
that's got 4MB soldered on, with room for another 4MB.
