I have one on my desk both at home and at work. The price on their 'Starter Kits' are difficult to beat. For $2100 I can get a 286/10, 60M, EGA(w/screen), 512K AT compatible WITH an LX-800 printer. A nice touch, I think, is that they throw in a 25 to 25 extender cable, and 10 blank High Density disks. I've priced all the parts separatly and can't come near the price for the kit. One thing to notice when buying- the serial board is set up with two serial ports on it. #2 costs $15 which includes the chips and cable. I've been very impressed by Compu-Add's help on the phone, and delivery time. Oh yeah, They offer a decent educational discount on individual parts. In fact, most companies do, you just have to ask. Happy hunting! d
