- The dealers around here are presently selling the LC II 4/40 and the
- IIsi 3/40 at almost the same price. Does the IIsi have any advantages

-
- Yes, it is more than slightly faster, it has a 32 bit data bus.
- It has more flexible builtin video and you can do a bit more with
- expansion without buying add on boxes.

- Like the LC/LCII you have to buy a PDS board to put in the FPU. I
- think both the IIsi and IIci are being sold for very attractive
- prices right now.
