I hope that this is my last question for the group before I actually
commit to buying a 386/33.  I have narrowed my choice down to two mail
order companies: Acma and EPS Technologies.  Both have ads in the
current PC magazine.  The Acma machine is about $700 cheaper than the
EPS, but Acma's ad does not specify component manufacturers.  

On the other hand, while EPS is more expensive, the list of components
used in their system is very impressive (Sony, Micropolis, Ultrastor,
Teac, Orchid).

Does anyone have any comments about either of these companies?  Personal
experience, references from friends, horror stories, happy customer
stories, etc are all quite welcome.  

Please respond by e-mail, and I will summarize to the group if there is
sufficient interest.
