	Logicsoft no longer stocks what I was interested in, so here we go
again.  One of the kind respondants recommended CompuAdd in Austin, TX.
	CompuAdd will sell me a "Standard" (their brand) Turbo-88 box
(8088-2 CPU, 640K, Qume 360K floppy), a house-brand EGA card (clone of the
"Video-7"), and a NEC Multisynch for about $1250.  Their hard-disks, alas,
are 85 ms Miniscribes, so I shall need to seek out a 65 ms Seagate (30 MB)
elsewhere, but the rest of the deal sounds awfully good.  Shipping is free,
no surcharge for credit cards, 1 year warranty, but (always a catch) 15%
restocking fee on returns.
	Does anyone know anything about CompuAdd (the firm) or the
"Standard" brand PC clones they sell?  Their BIOS is something called a
"Modified Erso 2", the 'modified' part having to do with EGA compatibility.
I'm still trying to get a system purchased during this tax year, so quick
replies will again be greatly appreciated.  A general thanks to everyone who
responded to my Logicsoft query. (Kind person who sent me brief review of
"Career Starter" system need not reply again.)
