I am looking at an IBM compatible machine and would like to know if anyone
has had any experience with it.
The machine is a Victor (don't know model #) and is about one year old.
It has MS-DOS 2.1, two 360k drives, serial & parallel ports, 256k and
a 4.77 clock.
Future hardware and software expansion is a concern. Any comments on how
compatible this machine is? Is upgrade to 3.0 going to be a problem?
They are asking $1000. Any comments on this machine would be appreciated.
I'll post results if there is an interest.
Thanks,

Re used Victor PC's: Victor tried to make it in the IBM PC clone market and failed (I don't rem- ember if they actually filed bankruptcy). They have come back in recent months with an accelerator card and several other add-on products. They also announced a "new" pc, but this is one that they oem - and I don't believe is at all similar to their former models. g. pavlov, fstrf, amherst, ny.

I heard there were problems at Victor, but I didn't think they were bankrupt. Maybe, they're under Chapter 11. However, PC Magazine on pages 129 and 266 (July 1986) show ads for the Victor PC II (an XT-clone "for as little as $1095" and the Victor V286, an AT-clone for about twice the PCII. Sure looks like they're still in business. Do I have the wrong company?
