	Does this figure take into account the additional cost of an
adapter board to get the 68882 coprocessor chip (standard on ci, not on si)?
Also, note that, with only 4 SIMM slots, memory expansion beyond 5 MB
requires replacement of *all* 1 MB SIMMs with 4 MB SIMMS according to a
recent InfoWorld. Now *that* will be costly!
