email me if you're interested.  Mac dealers, anyone?

To clarify, this device lets you put IDE drives into SCSI laptops and
Digital Multias.  According to Izaak, the late SCSI powebooks used this
thing.

When this is all over, I'm going to have the most expensive PB520c on the
planet.

oh yeah...``email me'' means followups-to-poster.  k?

I just received (via email) the info on this adapter.  The units run about 

	#		Price
 	5-500		$241
      501-1000 		$206
     1001-5000 		$189
  5001-10,000 		$172
10,001-20,000 	$154
20,001-30,000 	$137
30,001-40,000 	$119
over 40,000     	$102

I have an order form.  Can someone explain their price/profit break point?  :-)

The company in fact ~does~ have an english-language website.  They
manufacture disk and RAID technology as a partner to IBM.

The link for the scsi-ide unit is :

Minimum purchase is 5 units and it is sold in lots of 5.
