  I have had good experience with Dell. When I told them that I was
having memory problems, but they are eager to write a better diagnostic
to help QA before stuff goes out the door.

  Before someone asks, Xenix gets 2 DMA channels and the CPU in one
block of memory, and this causes marginal SIMMS to fail. I've seen it in
4 of 7 386 boxes, all cured by memory changes.

  I would buy a 310 if I had any money.
