In response to an inquiry about Leading Edge Model D PC's:


I have bought 8 Leadning Edge model D's in the last year - 2 floppys
& 6 w/20MB hard disks. The LE's are VERY IBM compatible.

I have run alot of software on them & they work just fine --

Multimate, PC-Write, Microsft Word, Epsilon, WordPerfect

Lotus 1-2-3, Enable, Reflex, Notebook, dayflo,

PC-Outline , MaxThink

Note-It, Microspell, Turbo-Lightening, Disk Optimizer,
Fastback, 

Kermit & Vterm ....

Project-6 and Timeline (project schedulers)
.
Sidekick, Homebase, Smartkey

I have also run alot of little utilities.

I have found some rare incompatibilities.

Lightening & PC-Outline won't work together although they seem to on an
IBM-PC.

However, the Leading Edge opens up the world of IBM software & expansion
boards if you need them.


---------------------------------
I have some problems with my hard drive contriollers. They were originally
from OMTI & had nothing to do w/Leading Edge. They came form the store which
sold me the Model D's.

Hope these comments help.
