If anyone's desperate for one of these, I have one (it came with
a 2.88 MB drive, but the same controller works with 1.44 MB drives)
which I got eons ago to use with my PC532 and ICM3216.  It's been
sitting in my parts bin for ages (in Melbourne, Australia).

Of course, it might be simpler to just connect up a SCSI CDROM for
bootstrapping...
