Does any one know of suppliers of VESA Local Bus systems, that will be upgradable
to the "Pentium Overdrive" chip (P24T) in Australia. There is a company called
Sphere computers that have one, but it is a bit on the dear side compared to
your average ISA bus clone.

I know Micronics supply Osborne Computers but currently Osborne are only supplying
a Micronics Motherboard with ISA and a proprietary local bus.

Can US Mail order companies do a good deal??
