A friend of mine is about to buy a Maxumn AT from 47th Street Camera store.
As most of people did, he is suspecting about quality and compability problems.
Any comments?

I recently purchased a Maxum 286-turbo (6/8 MHz, no wait states) 
and I have been very pleased with it.  I looked at literature,
magazine reviews, etc. on about 40 clones before choosing the 
Maxum.  One surprise I had: I really liked the US made Atronics
International mother board, but I could not find an Atronics
dealer or rep in the Oregon/Washington area.  The surprise was
that the Maxum uses the Atronics mother board.  So it was a very
pleasent surprize.  The Priam drives also recieve great reviews.

So far I have found no incompatabilities that do not exist on 
other AT compatables running DOS 3.2.

By the way PC magazine gave the Maxum 286-Turbo good praise and
Editor's Choice in one of their Feb. issues.
