Hi,
I'm in the market for an AT clone and I want to know if anyone
out there has any experience or knows anything about any of these
companies and systems. All have: 40 Mg hard drive, 1 Mg RAM,
EGA monitor and card, 1.2 Mg 5.25 floppy drive, 200w power supply,
2 serial and 1 parallel ports, and a 101 kbd. I'm going to start
with DOS and QUICK C, but I will someday want to go to UNIX and
also be able to upgrade my system without too much hassle.
1) Austin: 12.5 Mhz, Shadow RAM, Phoenix BIOS, 1 yr. GE on site
service. $2295
2) SAI: 12.5 Mhz, Phoenix BIOS. $1875
3) Gateway2000: 16 Mhz., 5.25 and 3.5 floppy drives, DOS and
BASIC. $2395
12 Mhz., 5.25 and 3.5 floppy drives, DOS and
BASIC. $2245
4) Tri-Star: 16 Mhz., 65 Mg hard drive (actually 40 with RLL),
Phoeniz BIOS. $2364
5) IEEE: 16 Mhz. $2350
6) ISD: 12 Mhz., Phoenix BIOS. $2100
Thanks in advance for any information you can give me!
