Damark is selling these for $3000. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with them? Is it an SX? Also, has anyone tried out the new Grid 386SX machine? It seems to have a lot of nice features (built-in modem, low weight, long battery time). I talked to them and you can only get a 40 Mb drive, which makes UNIX a little tight, but, hey, it's a laptop (or a "phonebook" by some press accounts). I also heard from someone that Grids are built very well, but I'm not sure he wasn't looking at their 286 model, which, I believe, was somebody else's (Zenith?).
