The Compaq 386 looks very good on paper.  Has anyone had any hands-on
experience with it?  I'm interested in using it for an engineering application
involving A/D conversion and a lot of mathematical processing (Fourier
transformations, etc.).  Specific questions:

1. Have you had any problems with peripheral devices such as A/D boards
keeping up with the 16 MHz cpu?

2. How about application programs such as Lotus running at 16 MHz. Does it
freak out?

3.  Any comments regarding the keyboard or other physical aspects of the
machine?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
