I do *not* recommend Kammerman Labs. I've been stuck with one of the three
we bought a while back. 

First, while it has 1 meg on the motherboard, you can only partion it as
512k DOS memory, 512k extended (ie Ramdisk, for most of us) or as 640k
DOS, 0k extended. And if this wasn't enough of a nuisance, the jumper
that has to be changed to do this is located *under* the hard disk bay!
You have to take *motherboard* out of the case to get at it...
(and there are a couple other jumpers there too)

The machine is actually a Tatung TCS-7000. We also have several "Packard
Bell" machines that are identical to these once you remove the case.
