Fairlight-CMI

Again, for clarification, Peter never made an original estimate of US$5K 
for the CMI-30A on this forum. He wrote (2009-08-08 22:55):

"Re pricing: yet to be finalised, but the choice to go with the CC-1 
does come at a price. Although the CC-1 is not sold currently as a 
separate card (it would be no use without the software etc that goes 
with it), the retail price would be around the $5,000 mark.  So you can 
do the sums, the CMI 30-A is not going to be price competitive with the 
mass-market synths which abound."

The "$5,000 mark" refers to an estimated retail price for the CC-1 card 
- BY ITSELF.

Perhaps Peter should not have suggested that we "do the sums", since 
most of us don't have experience calculating all the costs in commercial 
manufacturing.
