I have just about decided to buy the machine shown in the Keywords:.
Yes, I WANT a 286.

>From the spec sheet, the motherboard has 1Meg expandable to 8Meg.
Memory is page-mode SIMMS.  The machine uses an AMI BIOS and comes 
with a 1.2M floppy, 1:1 controller, Fujitsu 101-keyboard, and two year 
parts and labor.

I plan to fill in the memory myself and install a Paradise VGA+ 16
graphics card with a multisync monitor.  I also have a WD1006
controller I might swap for the stock controller.  I haven't
decided on a hard drive yet.

So the question is ... has anyone used, or is anyone using, this or
another DFI box?  Any problems running SCO Xenix 286??

I review this group frequently so please post your replies here.  The
information may help someone else.

Thanks!
