That's their price for AT&T 2M boards, not Piiceon.  Their price for
Piiceon 2M boards is $800, I think.

They do not have any of these in stock, nor are they likely to in the
future, unless somebody starts producing them again.

They do have these in stock, and if you have a DRAM source, you can plug on
an additional 1M for 1.5M total on the board.

And I paid around $2300 for a 2M/67M 3B1 including 3.51 and development
set!  TRC themselves still have a few 3B1s in stock for considerably less
than $3395!

>I have no relationship what-so-ever with TRC.

Me, neither.  Other than a potential customer, that is.
