You can get a price list faxed from support sales & marketing. (650) 506 6985. Whole set of O8 is $1260, Dev2000 $600, according to an old fax I have. Pigeon feed compared to my time. (Not that _I_ would ever pay it :) (I tend to collect old manuals when they are thrown out/obsoleted. This has often helped on the _next_ job, helping them see the value of buying a set or a second set. Other times sheer bullheadedness is called for.).
