What are you looking for, a price?

Two of my units were free installed in Model 80 PS2 systems, the other was 
an external with the ISA card and a bunch of unused media also free from a 
guy in the ibm PS2 newsgroup. While I see media on sale on ebay, I don't 
recall the drives themselves. I would venture to guess they don't sell for 
more then $20, since they are WORM drives of low capacity and any system 
that can use them can also use an old SCSI CDRW drives.
