[munch, munch ...  ptew! Yuck, gag, blah! This line tastes bad!]


Does anyone have any experience with a product, from a company called
"PC's Limited" in Austin Texas, called "the PC's Limited AT" ?

The specs are 
	o	80286 running @ 6Mhz		
		( anyone speeded this up? )
	o	1 Meg of Ram on the mother board
	o	1 parallel, 2 serial ports also on the mother board
	  	( the serial ports are either RS232 or RS422 )
	o	8 expansion slots
	o	192 Watt power supply
	o	hard disk/floppy controller
	o	1.2 Mbyte floppy
	o	AT style keyboard (gak)
	o	Claims 100% compatibility with MS-DOS, 
		all versions up to 3.1 work
	o	$1995 price tag

This looks like an AT-68 (the unenhanced version) with 1024K instead of 256K,
an extra serial, a parallel, and no monitor.  My guess is that a monitor and
monitor card can be had for less than $250, a 20 Mbyte disk for ~$500, giving
a full blown AT for around $2750.  Pretty nice.  The question is: does it
work?  Anyone out there have one or know of one?

Thanks in advance,
