That is about the same price as the VAX 11&#x2F;780 we bought in 1979 (serial number 13) to run CAD&#x2F;CAM software. I remember the price was around $350K, which included three RM80 drives, a vacuum column 9-track tape drive and giant battery backup. We added third party memory to bring it up to 4MB and a 40 port Emulux serial interface. It was just a few years later that a 16Mhz i386 was as fast as this system.
