	In a recent discussion involving resource requirements with someone
from SCO, I was told of very positive results running the Northgate 386/33
tower. No problems noted, and exceptional performance - better, in fact, 
than an unnamed, but big-name 486/25. I know it's just hearsay, but it
does suggest that, just because ALR and Acer may not be solid enough to
work others in their class suffer the same limitations.
