- the bare vs SVP vs DNK refers to the level of driver support
- offered. bare does MSDOS, SVP will also do OS/2, DNK adds Unix.

- what i'm unfamiliar with is what versions support tape and
- cd-rom devices (and also windowsNT) as far as i can tell, if
- you want the greatest range of supported peripherals and OS's
- you basically have to go with the DNK version. if your needs
- are less than you can save $50 to $100 by only getting a bare
- or SVP version
