<$399 without the monitor and cassette. I struggled long and hard with
<that decision, until one of the RS store managers agreed to be willing to
<special order a "replacement" monitor for me for $200 if I were to be
<unsuccessful in interfacing one of my CCTV monitors. Fortunately (since I
<didn't/don't) have Allison's technical expertise, it turned out to need
<nothing more than cabling.
Wise move! My system test stand at work had a common monitor incase the
problem was the RCA box.
<BTW, MOST of us thought that CP/M-86 would push PC-DOS out ("as soon as it
<comes out")! CP/M-86 was significantly delayed. By the time that it
<showed up, and the higher price for it than PC-DOS, PC-DOS was barely
<affected by its presence. Shows how much to believe "experts"!
It was available at introduction. What was delayed was the marketing.
It didn't ship with the machine it was a $200 option.
