I'll check it out and let you know -- It's actually in Concord (about 35
miles from here) being used to run an engine dyno something-or-other program
that my mechanic has. (His main computer's a mac.)

My main problem with PS/2's is cost and scarcity of MCA cards and memory and
such.
What I'd really like to find is an *affordable* compact
notebook/laptop/lunchbox with 1.5 (i.e., for a thick card) ISA expansion
slots to use as my voicemail machine. I thought I had that in my Altima 2,
but the *%$#_at_^% voicemail card has some components that stick out too far to
fit. My current machine ('286 desktop + composite monitor) is too noisy and
sucks up too much juice. (Oh, and battery power would be nice for when the
fuse blows.)

I think it was about $150. I might pick it up now, at that price, but I saw
it before I started collecting computers.
