It's 89 and you forgot about the 27A, 27Bs etc :-)

And then there's 51A - the 1:25000 map of the Arran Islands. I wish you hadn't reminded me how much they are - I have them all. I've got a couple of many of them, because some are now out in 3rd Edition :-( I can see myself slowly replacing the whole lot, so at some point I might have some second hand ones going with loads of highlighter pen and various scribblings on them.

If you click on the East,West, South & Shannon links on that page it shows you the coverage of the DVDs. Pretty poor. The west one is the only comprehensive one of them. The south does Kerry and some of Cork. The Shannon one obviously just does along the Shannon. The East one does down Wicklow and a line through Weford and Waterford.

At that rate it'll take at least 10 DVDs to do the trick. They are PC compatible only, but the contouring stuff looks fun. You can also export waypoints, which is nice. I might try the Mayo/Galway one out.
