I don't know if you can use that sort of rational logic when dealing
with our favorite company.  One must only be reminded that 6 EPROMS
(masked ROMS are even cheaper) to hold the TOS 1.4 OS "upgrade"
cost about $40.  Isn't Atari selling the chips for $100 and then
you have to PAY someone else to install them?  If you use Atari
logic on the 68882 cost schedule, you'll see that the price may
be a little higher than you'd imagined.

I know...I know...a few whippersnappers are going to say you can 
install the things yourself and save on the installation costs.
I don't think this can be expected of the typical computer user
so I'm assuming he/she would bring the unit in to the local Maytag
repairman to get the work done. :-)

That is odd.  There are plenty for sale here.
