I have never seen the subject of FCC Class B certification mentioned in
any of the series of "What 386 should I buy" articles in this group.

In the magazine reviews I've seen, the majority of 386 systems are listed
as having Class A certification, or no certification at all; only a few
systems, such as Dell's, are certified Class B for home, or non-industrial,
use. Considering that add-on cards and devices are going to add to noise,
it seems worthwhile to start at as low a level as possible.

I'm looking for a 386 system for my home machine. I'd like to be kind to
my neighbors, and not disrupt their TV reception. Am I being overly
concerned about this, or are you guys in my neighborhood too carefree?
