     Hello Net-Land,

        I would like to ask if anyone out there has tried running PCFORTH 
     or F83 on a IBM/PS2 Model 25 and if so have you had any problems?  The 
     reason I am asking is that I have seen these units on sale for about 
     $650.00.  This seems like a good buy and I have been told that for the 
     most part they are software compatible with the AT clones, in that 
     they will run the AT software.

        I really would like to have home system and the Model 25 seems to 
     fit the bill but I just want to be sure before taking the plunge again. 
     I took an $800.00 bath on an AMIGA/500 two years ago and so I am still 
     a bit gun shy.

        I am currently using a "COMPAQ DESKPRO 286" as platform to run 
     PCFORTH and F83 at work with little or no problems at work.

        So if any of you have any opinions please send me a line or post it 
     back to this news group.

     Thank you,

     Ben Eaton (bie@solman.mlb.semi.harris.com)
