Paid $125.00 for the 106 with free shipping and it arrived 3 days later despite the Christmas rush. http://www.diymicro.com/index.asp Haven't had a chance to open the box yet since I found out it's not supported under OS 9.2.2 on my G4 450 dual. Waiting for my 10.2 disk to arrive (the 106 is supposedly natively supported under 10.2.8). I knew I'd get caught by OS X sooner or later but sure am gonna miss my extremely stable, perky, does everything I want OS 9 environment. It's my understanding that the A06 is the same as the 106 with PC software included. Also, in response to an earlier post about incomplete burns... there is a software patch available somewhere to prevent buffer over-run. IIRC, I read about it on this list, or maybe the other G list. Another question on this same topic... does anyone know if Toast will support this drive in OS 9 ?
