My pricing sheets indicate list of $549 for limited and $749 unlimited with
no mention of which manuals etc. are included. (This is for a standard floppy 
based distribution set for apples to apples comparision.)  But this price also
*seems* to include the TCP/IP and RFS which is extra $$$ for other 386 
publishers.  A good thing about buying the whole ENIX thing is that Everex has
a *very* inexpensive ethernet card: 8 bit cards are under $200!!!  They claim
their ENIX will support these.  That makes for very cheap networking:  an 8
port serial card for uucp is twice that much and we know how much fun serial
ports are on these boxes.

For my part I think competition helps everyone.  This may not be the opinion
held at Microport!
