I poked around and finally found some cheap ones advertised in the back
of PC Week.  Best price of the batch was $429, though several were within
a few bucks of that.  That's not quite the $370 that Byte quotes, but it
is a tad better than what you've found.

BTW, I think the place mine came from was Atronic or something like that
in City of Industry, CA.  Never heard of 'em before; they were just the
cheapest I found.  They shipped the disk in a reasonable time.  Other
than that, I know nothing about them.
