If we are thinking of the same auction, that one sold for $725. I haven't seen anything in the $200 range.

Me too! it's going to be a really awesome bit of kit once it's finished![]()
As for pricing, it's hard to say exactly at this point but we are trying to keep to cost down where we can (e.g intergateing the port packs and ROM packs to eliminate unneeded connectors and extra bits of casing)

It goes on at length about details like emulating a SCSI device to feed a tiny boot program that dumps into the Test Manager routines in ROM, so that the user doing the test doesn't have to hit the NMI switch at boot. Interesting stuff.
I know it’s awesome!!!Wow, the amount of detail in that is amazing!
