I HATE Hyundai!  We had a serious problem with the Hyundai 286-E, it would not
run Lotus Release 3 (node version).  It would ALWAYS generate a stack
overflow.  We went around the merry go around with Hyundai and Lotus about
this to no avail.  If you want a personal recommendation, I would recommend an
ALR PowerFlex since it is upgradeable to a 386SX.

Hyundai's tech support pointed the finger at Lotus and gave us a list of every
possible patch for Lotus possible.  The funny part is that EVERY revision of
Lotus would run but Release 3.  I would say away from Hyundai since my
personal experience has been nothing but a bad one.
