I remember 256 KB, $2200, 1983.  Adjusted for inflation, that's about
$4500 in 2007 dollars.

I was an undergrad at the time, writing data collection and analysis
software for a biology professor.  She had a MINC-11, which was an
LSI-11/23 (the 2nd gen microprocessor implementation of the PDP-11
architecture) built into a lab cart with a nice collection of analog
modules: D/A, A/D, and a high precision timer are the ones I can
remember.  Of course, there's nothing there you couldn't duplicate
today with your laptop's built-in sound chip.

Dual 8" floppy drives, too.
