I've been using a Bentley-286/10 now for 9 months now without any problems.
It works great with SCO Xenix (never actually run MS-DOS on it). For last
4 months its been running netnews also with no probems.

I purchased it with their hercules compatable display control, amber monitor,
I/O port card, and 70 M H/D. Everything worked perfect right out of the box.

I hassled their tech support before buying and they seemed responsive.

The only problem I've had with it is incorrect documentation. All the Bentley
docs said the machine was 6/8 MHz (not 6/10). And the I/O board docs didn't
match the I/O board in the slightest. 
(hope I never have to change the switches :-)
