Complete 20MHz 80386 system for sale (brief)

[Tom Yager]

[cross-posted to .xenix because this would be a good system for someone
 starting with Unix or upgrading from a '286. Flames, if unavoidable, via
 e-mail, please]

Okay, I'll keep this as brief as possible. Maxx (the system I'm using to
enter this message) is getting turned into something else. I need to sell
my present system to help finance my future investment, and you get to
help. One catch: it all has to go in one shot. I need to use it until the
day it's packed & shipped.

The manufacturer, MDS, is based in Utah and sold me this machine a little
over a year ago. It was one of the first 20MHz systems out, and it really
is VERY fast. I've been running '386 Xenix on it (a fair burn-in, eh?)
doing development & news and have had 0 failures, 0 downtime. Nice, solid
system.

Here's the scoop:

   MDS 20MHz 80386 CPU in full-size ("AT") case
   2MB 80ns static-column RAM
   2 serial, 1 parallel ports
   1.2MB 5.25" floppy drive
   Combo fd/hd controller
   70MB/28ms Miniscribe hard drive (full height)
   40MB/40ms Seagate hard drive (half height)
   Irwin 40MB streaming tape drive (optional--I might keep it)
   ROM BIOS "shadow-RAM" for faster I/O in DOS (Xenix gets full 2MB)
   Software speed shift and LIM/EMS memory emulation (DOS software)

I've been running both Xenix and MS-DOS on this system (that's why the two
hard drives) and have seen no incompatibilites in either environment.

I'm hesitant to print a price because it tends to prevent people from making
offers. So, please: ask questions, make an offer. Use either of my e-mail
addresses below.

Thanks.
