I just got a call from the PC's Limited salesman.  I had asked him to
call me when the 80386 machines are in.  Well, it runs 16Mhz, no wait
state.  It comes with 1Mbyte, but you can get up to 6 Mbytes on the
same memory card.  Also 2 serial, 1 parallel, clock cal., 40 Mbyte disk
at 28ms a.a.t.  All costs $4499.  Lots of AT and XT slots.

It uses static rams, so each megabyte costs $499.

70 Mbyte disk system $4899.

150 Mbyte disk at 16 ms a.a.t. system $5899.  This one should scream.

He claims that when you can get your hands on a 20 Mhz or even 24 Mhz
80386, you can replace the crystal and the static rams for faster ones
and run that fast.

You can have a local service contract for the first year for $35.  They
use a local company like Xerox or something.
