That was around 1980 as an ISV -- a Basic Four 610 -- we paid I think 
$50k? retailed at $70k. 8 user, 256k memory, two 35Mb drives that for 
$15k a piece you could get the tech to come out and clip the strap on 
the high order bit of the address space register which would double the 
usable space.  Kinda like getting a discount on a caddy but they deliver 
the car with the back doors welded shut.
