I should have said I am only interested in list prices rather than
discounts. The idea is just to work out what they would cost in today's
prices for comparison to modern computers and I would just have to live with
price variations over time. If you have some US prices you could let me see
that would be great, just so long as you also tell me the date of the price
list. If there is a choice I would prefer the oldest prices so that they are
nearest to the list price at launch.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: Original Prices of DEC Equipment
Hi Rob,
I have several old DEC US standard price books which would cover some of
your equipment. The MVII would probably have a Qxxxx-xx system number on
it, which would be for a particular hardware configuration, and usually
software. The MVII probably had dozens, if not hundreds of configurations.
The books were published quarterly then, and configurations and prices
could
change with every printing. Different schools got
different educational
discounts, and different companies received different discounts. So it was
kind of a retail guideline. I assume there was a UK version.

with prices and options etc that would be great. The equipment I am
interested in
are:
