        I wonder if any one out there can help me. I am contemplating buying a
386 PC from CAS. They have a 20MHz machine with a 20Mb hard disc with 64K
cache RAM for $1700 + vat. The BIOS they use, however, is an AMI BIOS. I have
not heard of this BIOS before and wonder about its compatibility with the IBM
standard. Any replys on email please as I can't always read the news.

Cheers
