Or, instead of paying out big bucks to the Death Star company, shell out less
than half that for a reasonable system.  I've dropped less than $2800 so
far and have:

	PC/AT clone, 8 Mhz
	Hercules, mono monitor
	2 Meg RAM
	40 Meg hard drive
	Microport System V - This is basically the same Unix that's running on
	the 6300+, with Microport's added features (read bugs :-)) about $450
	for the full operating system.

I believe there's also a minor problem with the 6300+ in that it's not AT
compatible.  I think that it has the same funky AT&T 16 bit slots as the 
6300 :-( which means you have to buy special memory cards for it.
