I don't remember when the PIV was introduced, but I was looking through some late 90's Amazing Computing mags for reviews and info and the July '98 issue has some ads/prices:

  CompuQuick $379 (US)
  Software Hut (in their 'centerfold' ad) $420
  Safe Harbor $439

The limited supply (although likely with a much smaller
potential market all these years later) is really keeping the 'resale value' way up there...

Also on the front cover of that issue, an Amiga Inc. announcement of Amiga OS 5.0!  :-?

@T3000

I can do the scanning, sure.  It probably won't be until this Fri or Sat though, due to a packed week coming up.  It's the ads that are of interest, or the OS 5.0  'announcement' by Jeff Schindler? Or both!?!

For anyone who wanted to see the Amiga Inc. 1998 Amiga OS5
announcement coverage in Amazing Computing, or the vintage
SoftHut, etc. ads, I've scanned them into a PDF one can
download here...  (be mindful it is a 28Mbyte file).

You are welcome!  Glad to provide the tiny "time capsule"!
