Yes, we got our hands on a 80GB unit this morning. They're out in the
United Kingdom. It was 3600GBP + VAT.

You should probably talk to DiamondPoint, which is where ours came from:
http://www.dpie.com/contact.html

They should be responsive, but if not, e-mail me and I'll get you a
direct contact.

If you talk to FusionIO, please suggest Greg's staging tree to them.
They could submit their current driver and have volunteers improve on
it until it gets to a state where it can enter the mainline kernel.
