The ad I was looking at listed it at $595 and the earliest ad I could
find was in a mag full of articles about TI getting out of the
business. Tough timing of their part I guess. Since you had to
have the PEB too and those weren't cheap I guess not too many
people picked these up. I'll add it to my want list anyway just on
the off chance. I've found rarer things before so who knows.
