Cushy comments about Targa stuff...snipped!

Wait a minute!

That AT&T 6300 is 8088 type machine? That would make a very poor
image scanner system for this!

Why doing downgrading from that nice 386-25 system? Beside that, 386
technology is now over 10 years now since '85 the year Intel
introduced that chip?

That would include all of my 386 of portable and one notebook! :)
And one testbed too. ahem.
