[batteries to power, turbines to speed...]

	I am considering the purchase of the Servo 8 single board Z80
system.  It features:
	. Z80 B with 64K 150nS DRAM
	. +5 volts only at 1.4 amps
	. 2 RS232 ports
	. 1 Centronics port
	. SASI bus
	. can operate 4:5.25" and 4:8" drives at the same time
	. built in Debugger in EPROM

	The only competing product I see is the new Little Board
(t.m. of Ampro Computers).

1)  Does anybody have any first hand information on either of the
	above or similar boards?
2)  The Servo is approx. $600 for everything.
	The Little Board is $350 + $100 for the SCSI adapter,
	but it is a Z80 A (4 Mhz).

	I am deciding which to buy.  I favor the Servo system
since it is all integrated, faster and +5 volt only,
but that is not taking into account the company's and
product's reliability.

	Have any of you made a similar choice?

	What is the difference between the SASI and SCSI busses?
