You're still talking "retro hobbyist", aren't you? ?Or are new PDP-8

It's surely a matter of scale, but the order gates are once again open
for a minimum run of 50 SBC6120s w/FP6120s for $600. There are more
iPods and PS/3s and digital watches than SBC6120s, but I'd call $30K
(for just _this_ run) a commercial product, even if the audience is
hobbyists.
