I have talked to VESTA computers, and they seem to have a rather nice
box for $2695, including everything but the monitor. It has a 40MB disk,
1S, 1P, and a mono adaptor. 1 MB on borad, room for 1 more ($200) before
you need a bigger board.

Two people in the unix groups have been satisfied with these for Xenix,
and a friend of mine is going to order one for technical publishing.

I have *not* tried one yet, but when I checked the company they gave two
major Computerland stores as reference, and both were satisfied. I may
get one to run a BBS when I finally get a working 386 UNIX of some type.

These people will take an order COD certified check, so at least you
will see a box before you hand over the money.

Disclamer: I don't make any money on these unless you buy it from my
wife.
