Hello there,
    I am planning to buy PC-Clone to develop some software, after
shopping around looking for the best deal I found one that comes with
everything but the monitor. It includes a 40 MB Conner Hard Disk
(model CP340 28mS) a whole bunch of features and a TTL video adaptor. 
I am planning to buy a monochrome monitor and I intend to run packages 
like turbo-c, turbo-pascal, and other windows software like vitamin C.

  My questions are: 
      -   Is this brand of HD reliable?, have you heard about it?, have
      you had any experience?
      -   Do I need any additional circuit boards to run the different window
      environments?, what are the so called Monographic HCG cards, that
      are announced in some flyers?

thanks for your help
