In addition to the new 256K chips, remember that Apple also has to
provide:
- a 68000
- a 'Woz machine' disk controller chip
- about 30 other chips, many complex -> expensive
- a multi-layer PC board.

at $995 ($1495 in Hoserland) it doesn't sound like Apple could be
making much money on this.  Maybe a bit more on the 512K Fat Macs,
though.
