I have an older Santa Clara Systems "PCTerminal". I am not using it diskless,
but rather as an ka9q tcp/ip router to gateway my hp9000 workstation onto 
56kb amateur packet radio. 

The system was made by Hundai, with everything you would need built
in the mother board. (NE-1000 ether, 640k,Ser/Par, mono graphics, floppy contr.)
The unit is actually pretty well made.

I am not as keen on Santa Clara Systems. Their tech support was non existant.
(They said call Novell) Novell wanted serious $$$$ to even talk to me. 
My frustration was that I didn't have a networking question, I just was trying
to add a floppy. I finally called Hundai, got a knowledgable person
and an answer in 5 min. (For some reason, the std. PC twisted floppy cable,
and addressing scheme would not work. you had to set the disk selects on 
the floppy manually.)

I think hundai still sells the same product in AT form. I would buy it from 
them. 

Good Luck!
