I got their 20 MHz 386 Desktop system with CDC 165M ESDI hard disk drive
and put Video 7's VRAM VGA and it is a good thing to have around ...

And a friend of mine got their 386SX w/65M Seagate drive- no problems of any
kind (except 386SX doesn't like VRAM VGA- must be a problem with BIOS).
Fast and 'student friendly' priced indeed.

At least Windows/386 works ( with VRAM VGA in 1024*786 mode !) nice
on 16" nanao flexscan.
