Anyone out there had experience with the 16032 System 1 machine by
Logical Microcomputer Company?

Specifically: 
  Have they increased the clock rate to get 10 MHz?
  Can their floppies communicate with anybody else?
  What is their Fortran like?  The usual Berkeley 4.1 atrocity?
  Any experience with Pascal, C, etc?  Are VAX programs truly easily ported?
  What kind of load can it take? Number of users, number of compilations etc
      with reasonable speed.
  Does the hardware (hard disk, etc) hold up?

Any other competitive machines in this $15,000-$20,000 price range that
can handle floating point operations nicely and have nice Unix (e.g.,
Berkeley)?

How appropriate is the 16032 for the suggested 4-8 users?
