;We just got more in stock, so all of you who missed out on the

;price) for $129 in single q-ty or $99/ea in q-ties 10 or more:

	This sounds like it could be an excellent deal, especailly if a
few humbuggers got together and made a bulk purchase (a couple would prob
still have to be resold to third parties).  I wouldn't mind getting my
hands on such a machine.  Remind me tho, the 166Mhz cpu would give what
sort of intel-like performance?  Something like a high-end 486?  Maybe
I could upgrade my current 486/50.

	Can someone tell me what sort of components won't be comapatable
with my current setup?  I guess I'd have to reformat my hard-drive etc,
but I'd be expecting my current keyboard, floppy, ide hd (with
controller), video, internal modem etc to work.  Would I be correct in
these assumptions?  I don't want to upgrade in too big a hit.  Oh, I think
pretty much all the cards I currently have are ISA, I may have a VESA or
two which I'll naturally have to replace.
