Hi World! Sorry to all you international readers who aren't from down-under - as this is mostly relevant only to Aussie readers. I intend to get a 386DX system sometime soon and haven't got much time to shop around. Has anyone heard about the brand : Transcomp? (Aussie made) Or any recommendations? How much should I be expected to pay? The (minimal) configuration I'm looking at: - 386DX (prefebaly 33 Mhz) - 4 M on-board mem. - 32K cache. - 80M hard-disk - VGA - 1024 * 756(?) * 256. At this stage, I think most of my applications would be run under DOS. But I would like to have UN*X of some sort in a partition on my hard-disk. What version of UN*X should I be looking at? (bearing in mind the cost) Please also tell me what else I should consider - optional extras etc. Any recommendations about a modem? My main question though, is about Transcomp - I've heard that they're pretty good - so, because I don't have much time to shop around, I'll appreciate any sort of information this group can provide. Thank You In Advance. Tim. -- --------------------- timgoh@cs.uq.oz.au ---------------------
