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.
I was going to ask what a IBM PC SASI board was, or
rather where would you find one, but then I remembered
a XEBEC board sitting at the bottom of an old Tecmar
expansion chassis I have (similar to the IBM 51??). Is
that a SASI board? Best guess?

THAT
seems like a good use.
As long as the PC can handle 256-byte sectors...
