After checking out Tom's Hardware Page, I was rather interested in the
FIC PA2007 and the VP2 chipset. Of course no store in San Diego had ever
heard of First International. However, much to my suprize, one of the
stores that I happened to speak to the Sales Manager regarding FIC,
started advertising several FIC boards a few weeks later.  I'm hoping
the PA2007 turns out to be as good as Tom thinks it is and better than
John Milfords experience (8/11/97 msg) with his PA2011.
