Hello Net-Land,
I would like to ask if anyone out there has tried running PCFORTH
or F83 on a IBM/PS2 Model 25 and if so have you had any problems? The
reason I am asking is that I have seen these units on sale for about
$650.00. This seems like a good buy and I have been told that for the
most part they are software compatible with the AT clones, in that
they will run the AT software.
I really would like to have home system and the Model 25 seems to
fit the bill but I just want to be sure before taking the plunge again.
I took an $800.00 bath on an AMIGA/500 two years ago and so I am still
a bit gun shy.
I am currently using a "COMPAQ DESKPRO 286" as platform to run
PCFORTH and F83 at work with little or no problems at work.
So if any of you have any opinions please send me a line or post it
back to this news group.
Thank you,
Ben Eaton (bie@solman.mlb.semi.harris.com)cwpjr@cbnewse.cb.att.com (clyde.w.jr.phillips) (06/28/91)

Sounds like a decent deal but aren't the 25's limited and therefore a little less than decent? If I recall properly the 30 was the lowest model number you'd want to buy from IBM... > > I really would like to have home system and the Model 25 seems to > fit the bill but I just want to be sure before taking the plunge again. > I took an $800.00 bath on an AMIGA/500 two years ago and so I am still > a bit gun shy. > What temperature is your water, ie my $800 AMI 500 bath water seems fine, but I have had Ami's from day one, so your bath can't be like mine...
