Can't find anywhere local that stocks them, just mail order.

What I did find was a sony PRD-650WN.
Comes with the adaptec slimscsi 1460 (which is supported) and is basicly
a scsi cdrom discman.

I found one place that has it for $267, but not in stock.

I'm going to try and get hold of one (since a portable scsi cdrom drive
and the adaptec card would both be useful).
If anyone is interested I'll let people know how it goes when it and
my (just ordered) vaio 505tr arrive :)
