Shapiro) Organization: Bunker Ramo, Trumbull Ct Lines: 38 Xref: linus net.micro:12678 net.micro.pc:6904 Summary: ----- I have purchased the PC Limited AT clone and have been using it with IBM PC XENIX for about six months now. My only complaint is that the 30MB drive I ordered with it came formatted as a 20MB, so until I can get my hands on a formatting program, I'm stuck with a 10MB dead zone. Also, there was NO i mean *NO* i mean **NO** documentation available for it, except a ONE PAGE xerox'ed sheet of jumper settings. (This may have changed since then). Impressions: the keyboard is not as nice as real IBM, but all in all as good as or better than most clones or even most good Ascii terminals. In six months, it has only 'hung' a few times, and I could trace those to electrical glitches (turning on other stuff on the same circut). Recommendations: I would do it again. There may be some clones even cheaper now. Look into it. -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Joseph D.
