I guess it is still in the in box. Mine is a bit different from what you specify in that it has 810MB disk and the smaller 10.5" TFT instead of the 11.3" DSTN (I prefer the smaller TFT over the bigger DSTN). Probably if you wait another month the next generation will be at the discounters. The rest is the same and it works fine. One warning - set up a configuration disk before nuking all traces of w95 or you'll have to painfully construct a boot disk with stuff off the net not intended to work that way. There is no config in the BIOS. It was $1300 with additional 16MB memory and 3c589 ethernet. Peter -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc.
