The November 1990 BMUG newsletter quotes a price of $599 for
BMUG members. Although I am a BMUG member, I purchased a DPI
before this newsletter came out. I was quoted a price of
$649 as an academic price, but I've seen that price advertised
(with one cartridge). I think I was quoted $74 per additional
cartridge.

Moral: It pays to join BMUG and read the newsletter.
