Yeah check out ebay. If you get a Hitachi Microdrive make sure its the retail version with the colour label. Not the OEM version with the white label. The sellers on eBay are sneaky, many show the image of the retail microdrive but send the OEM.
If you get a Seagate Micrrodrive make sure it doens't say anything on the back refering to firmware. If it says FW 3.04, it will not work. Look for ones that dont specify a firmaware version. If they dont show an image of the back of the microdrive, ask for a picture.
Here is a few links for some good deals on eBay and other.
