Please note also that although 611 cases are 68-pin externally, that's
just to simplify cabling.  The open-front cases (tape/CD-ROM) are
50-pin narrow internally, while the closed front (HD) cases are 80-pin
SCA internally.

Keep looking around on eBay...I've picked up two 611 cases for < $20,
and one other for ~$50 with a good 9GB drive in it.  Don't look for them
as an auction by themselves, but as part of a box of crap.
