I have one, running DOS and Microport V/386. I haven't had much chance
to bang on the UNIX yet (I need more of the special 100ns SCRAMS to keep
the kernel from choking) but it's a sweet machine, fast as all-get-out
(at 16Mhz with no wait states it ought to be!). And the Vesta people are
friendly and helpful. I recommend it.
