From: jose rodriguez <jrodrig at mitre-gateway> Currently we are acquiring several pieces of equipment for a project on PCs and LANs and we trying to get some information on the following products: 1- Sritek boards : is anyone using them? There are some rumors that there are problems with them. Has anyone used the board with the 8088 processor? (Is anyone from CMU reading this?) 2- 3Coms's Etherseries systems. We have looked at it and are quite interested in it (if it wasn't for that single buffer, but oh well...) but there are rumors (again?) that they have problems. Does anyone have an actual lan based on them? Can you get any performance from the server XT? To finish I will like to ask if anyone knows of co-processors in expansion cards for the PC. We are strongly leaning toward 8086/88, but could consider others. They should be 16 bitters. Thanks for your help. I will relay any info and/or summarize to the net if requested to do so. Jose M. Rodriguez Information Systems, Mitre Corp. (jrodrig@mitre-gateway) P.S. Someone asked me to relay any info I got on a previous request on i/o peripherals for workstations. My mailer wasn't able to send to you and now I lost your msg (sorry). Could you send me another msg? Thanks.
