Try www.pricewatch.com and www.uvision.com type in Tekram 390F the best price at pricewatch is about $83 (but I have never ordered from those companies) and $125 at www.cmpexpress.com from which I have ordered. I have a Tekram 390F (NCR53C875-based controller) in my FreeBSD box along with 2 IBM Ultra-Wides and a Toshiba CDROM and I have been very happy. -------- Christopher R.
