Did you purchase it individually? Do you recall what you paid for it? In the blog, I linked to a YouTube video that said they retailed for $300-400. I believe it, but would like to hear confirmation.

I bought it bundled with my original IBM PC. The total price was around $3300 if I recall correctly.
