I used to sell them, and still have a couple of the 586 model in my basement. The 586 is essentially the same machine, with 512k of ram instead of the 986 models 1mb, and five serial ports instead of nine. Both models are 8086 boxes, though,.. If anyone wants one of these beasties, I'll be happy to ship one off to them for $250. This would be a 586 with 40mb hard drive. -- Greg Kemnitz / K and K Systems / PO Box 47804 / Plymouth, MN 55447-0804 Internet: gk@kksys.com / Voice: +1 612 475 1527 / Fax: +1 612 449 0488 Alternate Internet: gk@kksys.mn.org / ICBM: 44 59 20 N, 93 28 22 W
