I am basically coming to the conclusion that my Packard Bell 286
machine is a piece of crap and am interested in picking up another,
hopefully better 8-), replacement/backup in the same catagory.
ALR (Advanced Logic Research) is a local company out here, and they
put our a box called the ALR 286 PowerFlex. I can get it locally
for $1100 (286, 3.5 floppy, 1Mb Ram, 40Mb disk). The enticing aspect
is that the CPU plugs into the bus, so that you can replace the 286
with a 386SX (~$300) or a i486(~$2600).
COMMENTS?
Does anybody have any good or bad things to say about this unit and/or
my mentality [8-)]. The main thing is $price$, since $1100 is about
my limit (since I need to add a monitor card, at least to get up
and running). The advantage (it seems to me) is that I an upgrade
when/if my budget allows.
