  I think it cost around 800.00. I wouldn't consider it low priced.
You would think with X-windows the price would drop on such a product.
Maybe their volumed dropped. You can't get Xwindows for the 286 anyways.
Has anyone ever tried to port the public domain Window Manager over
to a Xenix 286 platform? Hey their is another company AE Windows that
offers a window package for the 286 Xenix. I seen there ad in the 
back of one of the Unix magazines. They have a bbs you can call and
test out the windowing software online. The windows where not bad. 
The price was somewhere around 400 to 500 range.
