A local computer store gave me a price on the following system:
	4MB 25 MHz 386 (no cache)
	Motherboard is Kennick (?), supposedly the same as in
		the Arche Rival 386
	Built-in HD/FD controller, supposedly equivalent to the
		WD1006V
	1 1.2MB FD
	1 1.44 MB FD
	2 S/1 P
	101-key keyboard
	200W power supply
	case
	
The price was $1426.  Is this a good price for the system?  Has anyone
any experience with this motherboard?

He quoted a price of $125 for a 256K Orchid ProDesigner VGA board.  Are
there horror stories about that board?

Thanks,
Pete
