  The big news around here is awaiting SAS for the PC.  It should run
on IBM and compatibles - requires 512k, and should take up about 5 Mb on
a hard disk.  It really sounds like a PC/AT is the desired configuration.
It will only be available on a site license basis, with their usual
sizeable discount for educational institutions.  It will come out in
several parts, and should be very compatible with the mainframe version.
