I am interested in the new AT&T Pc 7300 as well as the relatively new 6300.

I would appreciate getting mail from those of you out there that have infor-
mation on these two micros. I would be particularly interested in the
following things (but not exclusively so) :

               1. Compatibility with IBM PC as well as availibility of
                  software.
               2. Cost of basic system (6300) 2 drives, 128 or 256 ram
                  monitor,keyboard.
               3. Cost of the basic 7300 system. Since I really have no
                  idea what this system is like please let me know what
                  the cost you have seen includes as well as what else is      
                  available and for how much.
               4. The 7300 is advertised as a UNIX machine. I am not sure
                  what that means (ie. does it mean that UNIX is available
                  as an operating system if you have at least a 10 mb disk
                  or what.
               5. Reliability and general performance.

I have not located any reviews of either of these micros so if you know of
any I would appreciate it.


I have not seen the 6300 advertised thru mail order in Byte at least. If anyone
has let me know.


                                                   Thank you

                                                   Vic Bahl
