Do you have any information on the reliability of the mail order
firm _DAMARK International Inc._ or the KLH brand of 386 machines
that they sell?

I have recently run across an ad that seems too good to be true!

The ad is for a 386-25 machine, with full 32 bit processor, (*not* a 386SX) 
with 80MB harddrive (28 ms access time); 1 MB RAM expandable to 8 MB on
motherboard; one 3 1/2" 1.44MB, and one 5 1/4" 1.2MB floppy disk drives;
64K cache memory expandable to 128K; 16-bit VGA card: 800 x 600 with 256K
memory; expansion slots: six 16-bit (4 available), one 8-bit, one 32-bit
slot; 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port, 1 game port; five 5.25" drive bays
exposed (3 available); 80387 math coprocessor socket; MS-DOS 4.01 included;
101 AT style keyboard; includes instructional video tape for set up;
14" high resolution monitor - .31 dot pitch, resolution 640 x 480, analog
input signal, tilt swivel base.

The price advertised is 1999.99 ! !

It's not clear from the ad if the one year mfr. waranty is for the monitor
only.

If you have any experiance with this machine or any information, please
e-mail me your response.  I am in a terrific hurry.  And I will summarize
to the net.

Thanks for your attention.           - Jhinuk.
