Would you please post hardware-related stuff (and this includes for-sale offers) to comp.sys.mac.hardware? Thank you. (Followups have been redirected there.)

Maybe MassMicro has a better power supply, or a better driver (I have a MassMicro myself, using a well-written driver from a German company that also puts Syquests into housings w/ power supplies, and I kind of doubt the latter). Anyway, wanting $1000 more than Ehman means that they have a _big_ profit margin. -- Matthias Urlichs
