- Warwick,
- They do still here (286), and you can get a 20mhz motherboard for about
- $nzd100.00. A meg a ram (SIM) is $nzd64 so a cheap pc (grin), or
- upgrade for the ever popular XT.
-
- NZ does carry all the comp.sys.ibm groups either under OS.msdos.apps
- or os.os2.* etc etc .... Ask you sysadmin for further help on the'
- subject (Was it Roger who aked this?)
-
- As an aside a 286 makes a good comms server for your ST with
- things like "Aquaduct".
