Here are a few questions:

1. I have heard that you can only buy the AT&T PC 6300 PLUS with
	a 20 Mb hard disk maximum.  Questions:  Is this true?
	Can you replace it with a better (more MB) hard disk?
	Is it 1/2 or full sized?  Is there room for more hard
	disk drives?

2. I have heard of two different keyboards.  Can anyone describe
	the differences?

3. Does anyone know what board(s) are compatible with the PC 6300
	that are also compatible with the PC 6300 PLUS?  Hayes
	Smartmodem 1200B?

4. PC Mouse, is it compatible?

5. Disk drives:  Can the 1.2 Mb disk *accurately* read,write and format
	360K disks.

6.  The DEB, is it compatible with software compatible with the
	EGA or PGA?  Can the PC 6300 PLUS take advantage of it?

7.  Can the PC 6300 PLUS's UNIX take advantage of color?  Can it
	use a color monitor?

8.  Can you use the PC 6300 PLUS's UNIX's C (if available, or does
	it come under 'Programmer's Tools'?) to produce programs
	compatible with MS-DOS?  (i.e.  Can UNIX programs or UNIX
	produced programs run under MS-DOS)?

9.  Does UNIX have a silly 640K memory limit, or any at all?

10.  What can the PLUS be expanded to on the motherboard?  Expansion
	boards?

11.  Does anyone have any other comments about the machine they might
	have after using it, such as speed?

Thanks alot in advance,
