$1500 is what I remember also (forget if that was the Interlan NI1010
or the DEUNA / DELUA),
plus of course the cost of whatever Unibus you're burning the bandwidth on.
Serial was cheaper, but most of the competition wasn't.
I assume Datakit boards had a regular list price for customers other
than intra-Bell?

Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so =
