Thanks for everyone's help.  I ended up buying
the Tekram 390F from CMPExpress for $124 + shipping = $133
and the DCAS-34330 UW from Bason for $420 including tax
and shipping.

The drive from Bason is a OEM version with 3yr warranty.  Bason
promised to honor the warranty if IBM does not, and they noted
so on the invoice.

So far I am very happy with the purchase.
