- I have a 386-33 with 120MB Maxtor HD, diamond speedstar+ (1
- MB) and Viewsonic 6 monitor I bought from Standard Computer. One
- aspect seems to be common in all the dealings I've heard of with
- Standard Computer Corp.: they lie shamelessly. I've also had a few
- such unpleasant experiences with Standard.
-
- But the system I have works well and has been running OS/2 2.0
- with no problems since May 1992. I added an extra 4MB to the original
- 4MB I got with the system.
