I'm looking for feedback on the diskless workstations from Santa Clara Systems, originally sold by Novell. They've got a built-in video and Ethernet adapter on the motherboard, as well as DOS and NetWare boot software. Please reply to e-mail and I'll summarize. Thanks-Bob Bauer

I have an older Santa Clara Systems "PCTerminal". I am not using it diskless, but rather as an ka9q tcp/ip router to gateway my hp9000 workstation onto 56kb amateur packet radio. The system was made by Hundai, with everything you would need built in the mother board. (NE-1000 ether, 640k,Ser/Par, mono graphics, floppy contr.) The unit is actually pretty well made. I am not as keen on Santa Clara Systems. Their tech support was non existant. (They said call Novell) Novell wanted serious $$$$ to even talk to me. My frustration was that I didn't have a networking question, I just was trying to add a floppy. I finally called Hundai, got a knowledgable person and an answer in 5 min. (For some reason, the std. PC twisted floppy cable, and addressing scheme would not work. you had to set the disk selects on the floppy manually.) I think hundai still sells the same product in AT form. I would buy it from them. Good Luck! Alan Barrow km4ba ..!gatech!kd4nc!km4ba!alan .
