A local surplus vendor just closed his doors last week. He closed for
nopn-business reasons, but he had some number of these old cartridges
around, having had them since the day he opened up. They were always
overpriced and the drives were only popular enough for a short period in the
early '90's that having the media available was warranted. You might check
<www.corpsys.com> not because their prices are good, however, but because
they were the last ones I in whose inventory I recall seeing the 650 MB
platters.
