[net.micro] 8086/8088

From: Jeffrey Shulman <SHULMAN@Rutgers>

	What is the difference between these two processors?  Would 
you recommend the Seattle Gazelle (with an 8086) or the Heath/Zenith
Z-100 (with an 8088)?  If you had about $6K for a 16 bit machine what
would you get along the following lines:

	- terminal need not be 'part of' the computer (I already have one)

	- prefer 8" DS/DD diskettes to be 'part of' the system

	- would like an optional hard disk

	- expandable with new technology (I guess an S-100 bus system
	  would satisfy this)

Thanks for any replys.
