Anybody out in the Netland has experience on the following machines:
1) CompuAdd 286/16
2) CompuAdd 286/12
3) PC Brand 286/12
What I am interested are their compatibility, reliability? Is it wise to
own one of these machine? Can they all run OS/2 giving enough RAM, the 286/16
can have Max. of 5 Mb on motherboard, while the 12MHz need expansion boards
for more than 1 MB RAM, will that affect the performance of OS/2? or OS/2
just done recognized the expanded memory?

Also any comment on both Companies is appreciated.
