IBM is running a special on a bundle of their PS/2 Model 8555 called an 8555-T61 which is a PS/2 Model 55SX with 2MB, 60MB drive and 8515 color monitor. Early reviews of the 55SX seemed bad as I recall. I was wanting to get some feedback from anyone using a 55SX and perhaps some compari- sons of 55SXs with 65SXs and any other non-PS/2 SX based machines particularly the AT&T 6386SX and the DEC/TANDY DECstation 316sx. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Allen R.

Maybe a SCSI controller thrown in....
