	Try an MPulse.  Starting price $5,995.  16.6 MHz 68020, 50-230 Meg
disks, SCSI interface, 60M tape drive (real QIC or cassette or both), 8-40
serial ports, optional 68881, 2 Meg disk and I/O cache, Unix system V.
I maintain that this is about the _best_ bang-for-the-buck you can get (It
was even better back when I bought mine for $4,995 :-).  I know that the
company is also building a 25 MHz, zero wait state machine, 68030, multi
processor systems, other fun things.  I do not work for LPC but I do own
one of these machines (as do 3 of my coworkers.  We know a good price on 
iron when we see one!).
