Should I buy a Bentley-286/10? I would really be interested in comments you may have on this computer. I am also considering the AST/286...but my budget seems to be leading me towards the Bentley. -bhaskar

It works great with SCO Xenix (never actually run MS-DOS on it). For last 4 months its been running netnews also with no probems. I purchased it with their hercules compatable display control, amber monitor, I/O port card, and 70 M H/D. Everything worked perfect right out of the box. I hassled their tech support before buying and they seemed responsive. The only problem I've had with it is incorrect documentation. All the Bentley docs said the machine was 6/8 MHz (not 6/10). And the I/O board docs didn't match the I/O board in the slightest. (hope I never have to change the switches :-) Ray Hill ray@madnix -- UUCP: {harvard,rutgers,ucbvax}!uwvax!nicmad!madnix!ray {ihnp4,decvax}/
