Welcome to WDSC.  The product has changed hands and names and packages 
several times in the past few years, so it might be difficult to explain 
the whole thing.  WDSC is now linked version-wise to WebSphere, not to 
i5/os.  The current release of WDSC is 7.0.0.4.  You can get the latest 
CDs from the same place you order your i5/os from.

According to 
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/developer/business/index.html 
the 'buy it now' price is $1500US for the Developer Extension.  That 
assumes you have the base product to extend.  Typically, that would be 
WDSC for most of us Midrange folks, but there is an alternate path: 
Rational Application Developer (RAD).

You can download a complete trial of RAD and then download the trial of 
RDBe to extend it.  RAD home: 
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/products/rad/  Follow the 
Evaluation Downloads link in the middle of the page to download a 5Gb trial.
