CC: I own and have happily recommended the PCs Limited AT to a number of people. My machine is one of their originals (you know, before FCC approval, etc...) and I am -STILL- extremely happy with it. The newer models are faster, cleaner, and probably more reliable. I have never had a fault with my machine. It is slightly touchy about being turned on too soon after being turned off (that is, less than ten seconds wait) and this can result in the static rams getting cleared, so I have to reset the system statistics. The newer ones I have not seen do this. As far as compatibility goes, the current version of BIOS that PCs Limited supports has no known incompatibilities- I have run everything from Lotus software to a XENIX operating system on it with no "anomalous" behavior. I really recommend this system. It's an incredible value. (I have not, of course, tried all the other cheap ones; maybe that some of them are good too!) As far as service goes- I received that machine in a damaged state (*!# shippers!) and it was mailed and replaced and back on my desk inside of 10 business days. I call that great! If anyone has any questions about particular things on the machine(s), I may be able to answer them, and will be happy to try. -Jay Libove -jl42@andrew.cmu.edu -jl42@cmuccvma.bitnet
