	Gee, I'd be happy to buy a 600Mb SCSI disk from you for $65. Do you
have one ? :-) (Or perhaps you were thinking about incremental costs...)

	BTW, writing a CDR via a AHA 1505 at 2X works fine, provided your
source doesn't hiccup (good SCSI drive) and your CDR has a decent buffer
(like 2Mb). I write CDR's off a SB16/SCSI, not one frisbee yet.
