Just a few words of warning here:

	1. 12MHZ 80286s don't exist (although Intel has said "soon").
	2. 10MHZ 80286s are about $300.00
	3. This machine, when completely configured, costs as much as an 8MHZ
	   clone.
	4. Building a machine like this requires (unless you get the
	   pre-assembled board) some equipment (logic probe, oscilliscope).
	5. The fact that it uses 1MBit chips is impressive yes, but they are
	   still $60.00 each.
	6. Even if you get the board from them, you still need the IC's.  They
	   sell those extra - another $100.00

It would be a great experience if you can deal with the frustrations (if you
decide to assemble it, $30.00 for the tech manual is a MUST.)
