	I'm planning on buying a '386 AT compatible machine to run UNIX SysVr3
on it. This is want I think I'll have to spend:

	80386 machine with EGA Card and EGA monitor (800x600), 2 MB of
	memory, and 80 MB of hard disk, 5 1/4 floppy, 3 1/2 floppy,
	101-keyboard, mouse:
		DM 8100.00	-> US$ 4200.00

	Bell Technologies Unix SysVr3, unlimited user: US$ 225.00

	All in all: ~ US$ 4500.00 or DM 8500.00
