Both items are still available, at the moment.
Shipping 6 lbs. (a guess) via insured parcel post to zip 09464 is
$5.25.  (COD is about $5 additional, and I'd want you to prepay
the COD and shipping costs anyway, in case the parcel comes back.)
If you are installing the drive internally, you only need an
internal ribbon cable; I listed a 2-drive cable at $10 and a
4-drive cable at $18.  If you are mounting the drive externally,
you'll need a SCSI case with power supply (which I don't have),
and an external cable with a high-density (HD) 50-pin connector
at one end, to mate with the card, plus whatever your case
requires at the other end.  I listed a 3' HD50 to Cent-50 cable
at $20.
My mailing address is 21 Bond Street, New York, NY 10012.
Anything except a USPS money order would have to clear my bank
before I ship.  Please reply here first saying what you're
buying, so I can set aside the items for you.

I could probably write it(Visual Basic-- it would be for Windows) in exchange
