That's a great price for them. IIRC, Software Results' cost for our version
(no plastic handles, but the PCB had a cutout near the top) was $18/each,
over 10 years ago, quantity 100.
I just wish our engineer had listened to me and made our cards jumperable
for Unibus/Qbus... I doubt it would have cost even $1 more each, and we
would have been able to service our Qbus customers as well as our Unibus
customers (we shipped a Unibus grant card with every Unibus COMBOARD, but
nothing with Qbus COMBOARDs, not even DEC grant cards).
