I've heard about, being a dealer myself :-)

It is a reasonable clone, and is built pretty well. I have a standing
offer open on the net to do a group purchase (group >= 2) of the beasts.

Rules for group purchase:

Individuals:	At my cost, plus shipping expense plus NYS Sales Tax.
Institutions:	The above cost, plus $100, which should keep me in
		cigarettes and coffee for a while.

A typical system (and my cost in quantity two):

1	Fountain PC/XT clone, 256 on the momma-board (is that sexist? :-))
1	AST-look-a-like wih 384K
1	Hercules-look-a-like
1	Monochrome (amber or green) monitor, swivel base
1	Keyboard of your choice
1	20 Meg, 40 ms, Hard Disk
2	Half-height floppies
1	Typical DOS 2.x or 3.x software collection

My cost: $1,550.

Other price breaks begin at quantity five, ten and above.

If you're interested, contact me at the below address.
