Hi Keith,

Thanks, that's great news about Legend being a reliable brand!
Price for Oz is exceptionally low! Currently Oz$ is worth US$0.731 - see 
below
Actually I decided earlier to go ahead whilst they were *still* 
available [I usually procrastinate, then find it's no longer a stock 
item, here!] and ordered one earlier today.

Product#                 Price  Ext Price
------------------------------------------
USBD512                 104.55     104.55
------------------------------------------
                      Freight       17.00
         Mastercard Surcharge        3.03
                          GST       12.46
                                 ---------
                        Total     $137.04  [US$100.17]

Actually, as I don't have *any* USB 2.0 ports here, I'll also have to 
get a PCI-card for it too! What chipset are you running yours with or 
are any EHCI controllers OK?

 From Wednesday - have a good Tuesday there!
