That was the initial price you could buy it back in the 80`s. now I think you can sell it for 150$ on ebay. 🙂
Hi, yes its the initial retail price. 🙂

Have you been able to fix (if you had any) the problem with the Real Time CMOS battery? I am restoring one, It always asks me for date and time and I cannot identify where the battery (integrated into something) is, I’ve tried to make searches, but I was not able to identify the chip or “the thing” that keeps the memory on. Thank you!
Hi,
My computer has the same problem. I never figured out where the rtc battery is…
lets keep it another 50yrs in a ziploc bag sealed …might get up to 5000dollars by then
