I'm looking for a cheap PC clone; I've seen a lot advertised in the $800-$1000 range, in varying speeds, qualities, and amounts-of-detail. My primary concerns are reasonable compatibility, price, and speed, in about that order, but I'd really like a >=6 Mhz model that can use an 8086, V20, or V30 instead of 8088. Are there any well-known lemons in this price range I should avoid, or dealers I should avoid? Alternatively, does anyone make an MS-DOS card for the Atari 520ST or 1040ST? Somehow a 68000 offers more promise than an 808*, and this would be a good compromise. Please mail any responses; I'll summarize and post. Thanks; -- # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G-202, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs
