[net.micro] Request for comments on the Ampro Little Board/186

sambo@ukma.UUCP (07/15/86)

I am thinking about buying a new micro.  I currently have a Zenith Z-158 (an
IBM PC compatible machine with a switchable clock speed) with 640K of RAM and
a CDC 20Mb hard disk.  I would like to get something faster with a higher ca-
pacity hard disk, but can only afford to pay the same amount of money as for
my previous machine.  I know there are a number of AT clones out there for a
reasonable price.  However, reliability is extremely important to me, since I
live in Honduras.  (I will be in the US for another two months or so.)  I al-
most exclusively do programming in Modula-2.  I am interested in designing
programming languages and writing compilers.  Therefore, IBM PC compatibility
is not extremely important.  I would appreciate comments on the Ampro Little
Board/186.
