You guts want something for nothing,  where can you find that?  No where.
 
But as many people have said before and many will say after, if you wait long
enough and keep a look out you will find these things cheap.  But if you want
them on demand, "right now" you will have to pay the going rate.  It's a bit of
$$$.  But if you want it right now and you have the money, I say it is worth
it.
 
I bought my SCSI card, my super drive and super drive controller new a long
time ago.  They are precious to me.  I wouldn't sell them for the going rate.
You don't want to pay the going rate.  So we don't have a deal.
 
I do get stuff for free now.  Much of it is pretty cool.  But most of the stuff
was given to me by people who I have helped in some way or another.  People who
come up to me and promised me free stuff did not come through.  But those who I
already had a relationship with did.  That's how I got two out of three of my
gs's.  

But if you scour swap shots and garage sales and ask your friends you may find
some goodies.  But it may take a few years.  And I suspect that as the years go
on these finds are going to get less frequent.

I suggest that if Focus drives are still available you should grab one.  They
are plug and play and still supported.  They are great and do not cost too
much.
