I just joined this group and saw some comments on the ZEOS 386sx.  
Does anyone have anything to say about the 20Mhz 386?  I called
and they gave me the following quote:

     20Mhz 386
     4 meg main memory
     64k cache
     80meg IDE Connor hard drive
     1.2meg Teac floppy
     1.44meg Teac floppy
     NEC 3D 14" monitor
     VGA 512k  1024x768x256
     2 serial ports
     1 parallel port
     1 game port
     Microsoft mouse
     Windows 3.0
     DOS 4.1

     $3395

Is this a good deal?  I have been wandering through Computer Shopper,
and it seems like a good deal.  I need to run some engineering packages,
such as matlab, and also some of my own graphics work, i.e. games!  Since
I will be doing a lot of compiling of large source code, is this a reasonable
package?  Any recommendations about this computer or any others would
be greatly appreciated.
 
                                 Thanks ahead of time,
                                 Joe Peck
