I'm using one a lot, and I filled out that survey.  I guess it is
still in the in box.

Mine is a bit different from what you specify in that it has 810MB
disk and the smaller 10.5" TFT instead of the 11.3" DSTN (I prefer
the smaller TFT over the bigger DSTN).  Probably if you wait another
month the next generation will be at the discounters.

The rest is the same and it works fine.  One warning - set
up a configuration disk before nuking all traces of w95 or you'll
have to painfully construct a boot disk with stuff off the net
not intended to work that way.  There is no config in the BIOS.

It was $1300 with additional 16MB memory and 3c589 ethernet.
