If they there is not a "retail" option, I would be interested in seeing here are enough 68Kers to allow an order of some bulk number of drives (to get a reasonable price).
I don't know what you'd consider a reasonable price, but those SCSI SSD are not going to be cheap. Any time you try to make something which you'll only sell in the dozens or hundreds, they're going to cost a lot.

What'd be much cheaper if you must have an SSD (instead of a CF card, for instance) is to get an Acard SCSI-SATA adapter:

for about $200 USD, then buy any SATA SSD you want, such as:

At least you'd always be able to put any newer, higher capacity drive in there at a later time. The proprietary SCSI SSD is a one shot deal that's obviously not expandable.
