Does anyone know the retail price for a 512K Lisa memory board in 1982?

Or even the AST board?

I plan on displaying my spare board when I show off the Lisa at local club events, and thought it might be neat to show the card and the price at the time.

  • See why 1983 was more like Y2K...

Sun Remarketing was selling the RAMSTACK board for $799 in 1988:

Understand that this was 4 years later and SunRem prices were much lower than the original retail.
