The pictures in Byte revealed that DG was using 8K byte CMOS static
RAMs, which are quite pricey at the present time; the salesmen at the
Canadian Boring Computer Show wouldn't tell me how much they were going
to sell expansion memory for.  Using a rough and questionable figure of
$15 per part, and multiplying by 16 (for 128K) and by three (markup), I
get a price of around $700 for 128K...
