A comparison between the Sun386i/150, Compaq Deskpro 386/20 and IBM PS/2
model 80-111 was in the May 3, 1988 PC Week starting on page 13 (vol. 5 no. 18)
It is not an in depth review.  The 386i is a Unix workstation and is not
aimed at people who just want a fast PC.  I prefer the Unix environment and
find that ability to run MS-DOS programs under Unix a bonus.  I am sure there
will be many people who do buy the machine as a fast DOS box, but that is not
the market Sun appears to be going for.
