Having been burnt in the past on using new equipment too fast, I thought
to ask for anyone's opinions and findings on:

	the PSI HS-1600 disk controller in use under XENIX.  They provide
	drivers and support; what's benchmarks like for you?

	The new DigiCHANNEL MV/4 "4 VGAs on a card" board.  This provides
	four VGA monitors, keyboards and mice on a single card.  If it has
	DigiBoard's usual excellent software support, it's a great solution
	for anyone needing multiuser support on XENIX without PC terminals.

	Using Uniterruptible Power Supplies with power-fail notification
	software.  The American Power Conversion PowerChute looks good,
	nice, fully developed--any opinions?  What signal does it send?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

	Alex
