Try NECX -- (800)-961-9208. This is where I bought my Data
Technology 3130B. They have a web site (http://www.necx.com), but I
think it's pretty awful -- they require you to sign up before you look
around.
Also, here's a partial list of NCR/Symbios-based boards (I haven't
verified all of this, but I believe it to be correct):
Data Technology 3130B (815-based, with BIOS). This is what I
have.
Tekram DC-390U, DC-390F, & DC-390W (I don't know which
NCR/Symbios chips are used in these -- however, you want
to *AVOID* the plain DC-390, as this is based upon an
AMD chip, and not the NCR/Symbios one.)
ASUS SC-200 (810-based, without BIOS)
Tyan S1365 (825-based, fast/wide SCSI, with BIOS)
