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) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
