Much less than that for a Multia. I asked this question before, but was told there is a MMU problem with the Multia that prevents it from working with Unix's virtual memory system. I was told at the time that DEC offers development systems (motherboards) for < US$1000(?) which you could swap into a PC chassis and use standard PCI peripherals, SCSI disks etc. Anyone with exact details?
