Work as in 'boot from'? Define 'cheap'.

Going to the LSILOGIC web pages

http://www.lsilogic.com/products/io_standard/ioshabs/iosbddescrp.htm#HABkits

and then following from there, it looks like you can get a SYM875 kit @ Q1 for
about 115$ from Insight Electronics:

http://www.insight-electronics.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?cart_id=8108825.11228&start=0&first=first&supplier=SYM&category=&keywords=SYM8750SP+&limit=10&search_request_button=BEGIN+SEARCH

I dunno if Insight is an enduser seller..

I'm thinking about getting a Calif. reseller id- so maybe it should be 'me' as
a place to get this from- I'll buy 5 or so at a time from Bell or Ingram or
Insight and resell them @ cost + sales tax- primarily so I can get a better
source of Qlogic boards..
