Message-ID: <1989Sep25.182151.11161@jarvis.csri.toronto.edu> Date: 25 Sep 89 22:21:51 GMT Organization: University of Toronto, CSRI Lines: 18 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 Jim Laredo laredo@csri.toronto.edu
