I do watch the auctions for this Helios drive but won't bid. Too much BS going on with this seller, it seems. I suspect the private seller is an alter ego of his.
I did manage to find a Cromemco PFD Persci dual drive this morning on eBay for $250. I have every confidence this will come. I would have no confidence with the Helios seller.
