I can't believe that this is the same company I've been dealing with. I bought one of the 10Mhz AT-Clones and the thing worked perfectly for 5 months and then zapped the power supply. When I sent it in for repairs I complained about a "once in a blue moon" general read error from the damn 1.2 Meg Floppy. They replaced the power supply, put in a new floppy, put in the latest update on the ROM-BIOS and charged me nothing and had it back in my hands 11 days after I shipped. Frankly a company that does as much business they are doing and has grown as fast as they have are going to make some mistakes. I for one don't intend doing any mail order business with anyone else unless this changes to an everyday occurence with these complaints. What I want to know is when is their 80386/ OS/2 box gonna come out :-) Bob P.S. This is a personal opinion and does not reflect the opinion of my employer.

I had asked him to call me when the 80386 machines are in. Well, it runs 16Mhz, no wait state. It comes with 1Mbyte, but you can get up to 6 Mbytes on the same memory card. Also 2 serial, 1 parallel, clock cal., 40 Mbyte disk at 28ms a.a.t. All costs $4499. Lots of AT and XT slots. It uses static rams, so each megabyte costs $499. 70 Mbyte disk system $4899. 150 Mbyte disk at 16 ms a.a.t. system $5899. This one should scream. He claims that when you can get your hands on a 20 Mhz or even 24 Mhz 80386, you can replace the crystal and the static rams for faster ones and run that fast. You can have a local service contract for the first year for $35. They use a local company like Xerox or something.
