Looking in my Radiospares (yes, we have them here too) catalogue, I find
catalogue number 657-246 : a 512Kx8 battery backed memory card, 
physical dimensions 86x54x3.4mm.

Turning to my pricelist, I find the one-off price to be A$1161.80

Immediately I look at the smaller components :)

The 32Kx8 card is still A$252.76.

Somehow I feel I will let someone with some more money than me play with 
these.
