According to the July MacWorld, list prices are $699 (Apple), $695 (Kinetics),
$595 (3Com), and $549 (Everex, Dove, and Interlan). Emory University's
Computer Sales has the Apple board for $470 and the Everex board for $346.
MacConnection has the Dove board for $450.
Now, two questions:
1) Any reason to prefer one of these boards over the other? I'm primarily
interested in performance issues, but the recent bad Everex support
experiences are also relevant.
2) Does the Apple board come with MacTCP? This would make the Apple board
much more competitive, as the latter would not then have to be purchased
from APDA.
