	I bought an AUSTIN 386SX about 6 months ago and, I haven't had any kind
of problems with it whatsoever. I consider it to be an excellent system
well built and at least up to now, reliable. 

	The only thing not so nice about it is that since they use SIMMs for
memory, if one chip goes down, you loose the whole memory bank (256K or
1MEG). Also the IDE hard disk and interface work really nice but, they
are not as common as MFM ST506 or ESDI, SCSI. 
	Another thing If you decide to buy one of this systems and are going to
buy VGA monitor, buy one with at least 800x600 resolution.
