Intel Corporation recently made an offer to academic instituions that provides an Intel 310 box with the 80286 processor, 512 Kbyte RAM and the Xenix OS. Does anyone on the net have experince with this machine? Has anyone else submitted a proposal to Intel to participate in their offer? If you have submitted something, would you be interested in a user group bulletin board? Reply via net to ecsvax!lab. Thanks Lee A. Barbieri Duke Hospital Durham, NC

Netlanders, Has anyone out there heard of an Intel 310 PC. The Army, in it's wisdom, has decreed that it will be the "standard PC". Has anyone used one? Is it a decent PC with any support (I really have little hope that it is)? Please send replys to cadwall@ARDC. If there is any interest, I'll summarize the results to the net.

Public is getting the shaft, and Military INTELlegance is holding true. Having worked on one I expect a lot of our people to get killed.
