Software Hut (in USA) was selling them a few months ago for $120 or so. They
required filing the plastic slot a little bit to fit my 3000 but work fine.
NOTE, do not follow the A3000 manual and move the jumpers on the mother board.
I chased around for months thinking the drive was defective until I read a
message about using MSDOS drives which had a off hand comment about these
jumpers. If you tell the A3000 that a second drive is there (ie move the
jumper) the mother board makes the HD feature inoperable (never sees the HD)
the new drive just acted like a low-density unit. It works fine without the
jumper, the OS still sees the second drive and can determine which type disk is
in there. (OS 3.1 but worked with 2.04 also).
best of luck.
