I've been using an older model NEC Versa for the past few weeks (running NetBSD and XFree86 3.1.1 on it) and really like it. This particular machine is: 486sl/25 8 megs of ram active matrix color display 174 meg drive The active matrix display drives the price way up, but they also sell them with mono and dual-scan color. People around here (at CMU) also run Mach on them, so they seem to be generally compatible with a wide range of operating systems. NEC also seems to have very agressive pricing on refurbished and blemished units... alex
