                              NOTES ABOUT THE SYSTEM:
 
 The system listed above has been my personal workstation which I recently 
 upgraded to the 486.  The motherboard (AIR) is one of the most vigorously
 tested (by a very reputable vendor), UNIX-capable systems that I know of.
 My system ran Interactive UNIX in the past and now runs Dell SVR4.  Although
 I havn't run SCO UNIX on it, the vendor that I bought it from sells them
 specifically for running SCO.  Of course it will run DOS and MS Windows, 
 and I would imagine it would be ideal for running Solaris or NeXTStep when
 that becomes available.  The motherboard is a full-size footprint and 
 requires a standard AT or tower case.
 
 The motherboard will accept standard SIMMS and can take a max of 64 
 megabytes on the board itself.  It comes with a built in parallel/serial 
 port, although I havn't tried these yet (I've been using the Diamond I/O
 card).  I believe the system uses the latest Phoenix BIOS that includes
 autoconfiguring utilities for mixing both AT and EISA devices.  Offhand, 
 I can't remember how many slots it has, but there's plenty.  Theres also
 a Weitek socket.

 This has been an excellent workstation for running X-windows.  For X, I 
 would highly recommend getting the ATI coprocessor and running Dell's 8514 
 server as opposed to Roell's X386.  It is MUCH faster.  An even better 
 solution would be to purchase the X11R5 server from Metro Link.  They report
 getting over 70K xstones on their current release, and will soon be releasing
 a server that gets over 100K xstones.  This is a serious X server that 
 exceeds the speed of many RISC workstations.
 
 Please feel free to call me if you want additional information.
