A friend of mine is looking to buy a Packard Bell VX88-FM (XT).
She is interested in hardware and software compatibility and the 
reputation of the company.

The machine has the following specifications

Processor	NEC V40
CLK		5.5MHZ or 8MHZ
RAM		640K
RTC
EXPANSION SLOTS 4 OPEN SLOTS
INTFC		SERIAL PORTS, PARALLEL PORT and SMC 9266 FDC controler
		on motherboard.
P.S.		135 WATTS
FLOPPY DRIVES	2 360K
MONITOR		13" AMBER
GRAPH. INTFC	MDA, HDA and CGA on motherboard.
SOFTWARE	MS-DOS 3.2 and GWBASIC with Manuals

The unit sells for $793 is this a good price?

Thanks in advance for the help.
