Well, Mark, they are, but they aren't. I called a while back, and they
said they'd put me on a list of potential buyers, but I'd have to wait
until the needed parts come in. No telling how long that will be.

Willi, if you're in a hurry to get a hard drive for your Apple//, I'd
suggest going here. They're supposed to have an order of 100 CFFA/IDE
cards made up sometime next month. If you're feeling bold, they have
downloads on how you can make your own.

Last I heard, the order should be ready anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks.
