	CODATA 3300  and/or  Momentum(sp?)

	I have the opportunity to buy either of the following used
	systems real cheap (<$1000), but I don't know anything good
	or bad about them except both companies are more or less gone.

	I just want a cheap <$1000 unix system for home use.
	
	HELP, are these systems OK?

	
	CODATA 3300:

		O.S.	Unisys 3.1.1 based on V7 (is this Sys 3?)

		PORTS	2, +8 more with expansion card.

		Mem	1/2 meg expandable to 1 meg.

		Disk	Atasi 3046 (I know about these, I sell refurbished
			ones).

		Tape	Start stop



	Momentus(sp?):

		O.S.	Sys 3,   Sys 3.5 available (Sys 3 + Berkly enhancements)

		PORTS	2, +2 with each expansion card.

		Mem	1 meg expandable to 2 meg.

		Disk	Atasi 3046 (I know about these, I sell refurbished
			ones).

		Tape	Start stop and streaming


	It looks like "Momentus" might be the best systems unless you
	guy/gals know something I don't?

	Help this maybe the last system I can talk my wife into letting
	me buy (She still remembers the Osborne I bought 2 months before
	the price dropped out and they went Chp 11).

	send replies to  bart@nscpdc

	Thanks in advance.
