Steven,
From memory we forgot to put 8 Tascam DV-01U dvd players with from research an msrp of
$649.00 each.That would be$649.00x8=$5,192 . Also added to this amount should be the
interface device which was named Leightronix PRTADVD at$260.00 each from the one vendor I
found that still sells them.That would be$260x8=$2080. /-
