Thanks to John Leon of Bell Labs Denver, here is the pricing info for the various Sritek boards and XENIX packages. Prices are list, with no mention of available academic or quantity discounts. PC VersaCard........................... $995 Ram Module............................. $595 Z80 MicroCard.......................... $195 8086 MicroCard......................... $595 68000 MicroCard........................ $795 XENIX operating system and utilities... $495 Software Development System............ $495 Text processing package ............... $295 Multi-user package..................... $495 I don't know what's included in the XENIX packages so it isn't clear which ones you need. I'd assume at least the OS and SDS packages, makeing the total price about $3400 (VersaCard + Ram Module + 68000 MicroCard + XENIX OS + XENIX SDS) plus the cost of the IBM PC. Sritek's quoted price of "under $6000" seems pretty reasonable. John saw the system at COMDEX and had the opportunity to play with it. He was impressed with the system speed (using a 10MHz 68000) and with the people he talked to. Thanks, John for passing along the info... David Bryant Bell Labs Columbus, OH (614) 860-4516 (cbosg!djb)
