I purchased an IMS-286 10Mhz system from IMS over a year ago. I only bought the
computer with 1M Ram and 1 1.2M disk drive. So far I have had no problems with
the system whatsoever other than LOADS of dust floating around. I'm really
happy with the system. Everything that I've installed so far works perfectly...

I've put in a Logitech mouse (still some problems here, but I've been informed
that they are software only), VEGA Deluxe +, Hercules graphics card, Everex
multifunction board with 2 serial, parallel, 2M RAM, and a game port.
Also have an additional 2 serial ports and a bunch of other stuff. No problems
so far that weren't operator error or programming problems!

I liked it and the cost for my system is over $1000 less than it was when I
bought it back then. And I saved a bundle back then!
