Out of interest, how obtainable are the SASI/SCSI

I've got a pile I was going to ship over from the UK at some point
as spares (various systems that I have use them) - but if they're
still really easy to get then I guess I won't bother[1] and will
just acquire a few within the US as it'll likely be cheaper.
[1] The Xebec ones at least tended to have vendor-specific ROMs I
think, so I'll have to make sure I have a working copy of the ROMs
in my UK-side ones.
The Emulex MD21 and Adaptec ACB4000, both very nice boards used on
earlier Sun systems, used to be quite common but seem to have dried
up in recent years...I've not seen one in the wild for quite a while.
