 Warwick,
 They do still here (286), and you can get a 20mhz motherboard for about
 $nzd100.00. A meg a ram (SIM) is $nzd64 so a cheap pc (grin), or
 upgrade for the ever popular XT.
 
 NZ does carry all the comp.sys.ibm groups either under OS.msdos.apps
 or os.os2.* etc etc .... Ask you sysadmin for further help on the'
 subject (Was it Roger who aked this?)

 As an aside a 286 makes a good comms server for your ST with 
 things like "Aquaduct".
