[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Please advice ! IBM PS/2 model 80 vs Compaq 386 for file server

swie@umn-cs.CS.UMN.EDU (Swie Tsing Tan) (04/21/89)

I need some advice to choose either IBM PS/2 Model 80 with 300 Mb harddisk or
Compaq 386 (25Mhz) with 300 Mb harddisk, for a file server which will be running
under Novell O.S.
Most (all) magazines say that Compaq 386 outperforms IBM PS/2 model 80 (beside that Compaq has higher clock rate).
Could you please tell me :
  - which one is more reliable ?
  - have you ever used it ?
  - which company can give the lowest price ?
  - what is the best network adapter card for ethernet connection ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
