Hi,
O.K. I realize that this question has probably been asked a
thousand times in these newsgroups, but since I have never
read them before I don't know the answer. I would really
appreciate any help anyone could give me regarding the following
dilema and please e-mail any answer since I'm sure the whole net
does not want to read this again and again.
I have a chance to purchase a 3B1 with 2MB memory and a 67MB hard disk
for about $1500. Only that doesn't include the MS-DOS co-processor.
How much does that cost and does it povide true MS-DOS compatability?
Can you also use a graphics card with that (i.e. if I want to do
some desktop publishing.)? Also, it doesn't include the OS, however,
my friend who can get it for me can probably throw in an OS at no
charge.
Any advice? I've been looking at some 286 clones for around $1800
including graphics cards and I can't decide what to do. I plan to
do some private consulting and unfortunately most small business (to
whom I want to consult) uses MS-DOS machines. If I do buy the 3B1 I
need to do so within a few days.
HELP!!!!
Thanks.
