Actually, the major drive you will find is the Xetec.  New
ranges from about $900 to $1100.  If you can find it for $700,
you are lucky!  If you check the used market out, there are 
also hard drives (20 meg) made by ICT.  I have one.  It is put
together like 120 1541 disks.  The drive is not nearly as fast
as the Xetec, but can usually be gotten for cheaper.  ICT also
has the ability for easy upgrade with a new circuit board and
a cheap Seagate drive.  Only problem is finding the circuit board.
If anyone has an idea on where to get it, I would appreciate it.

If you don't want 20 megs, there are also smaller drives available.
I also have a JCT 5 meg drive.

25.5 megs on-line.

P.S. The board is run on the ICT and JCT hard drives.  I also know
several people with Xetecs, so if you have questions....
