That was USD 300 of RAM, so a small fortune.

In 1982? Pretty sure it was more. Remember that the first Mac, a $2k machine, came with 128kb in 1984, and the IBM PC/AT (costing a wooping $6k in 1984) came with 256kb in the original base variation.

It was a lot more than that. 64K went for about 300 Dutch guilders back then, the 256K board went for almost as much as the entire computer, I spent a very long time saving for it.
