I bought mine from Insight Electronics, which is listed on Symbios's web
page.  (symbios = ncr)  They are generally suppliers, but they do take
credit cards.  My 815 was $125 including shipping.

The 810 has no BIOS, so your motherboard's BIOS must drive it.  Asus's
BIOSes do, some others may.  (Thus they sell the SC200, a repackaged 810)
