Could you, please, tell me where can I find such a DECstation 3100
configuration for 5000$? 
	I have recently purchased DEC3100, system as above (19" monochrome
monitor), without any external devices (only one RZ23 104Mb drive inside)
for 5255$, at a special educational discount at CMU (the University bought
approx. 300 DECs 3100 and got a better price).
	My home institution (a school) is interested in a purchase, so
any information on such DECstations 3100 at 5-7000$ would be appreciated.
The CMU discount cannot be applied directly to my home institution.

	Thanking you in advance
