Any suggestions on where to buy a unix compatible system with:
If need be I'll drop from a p-60 to a 486-66 to get a reliable machine.
Well, my ALR (Advanced Logic Research) EISA system has been nothing
but top-notch in reliability, performance, and non-flakiness. It has
never done anything to indicate bad, stupid, or substandard design to
me. And, in fact, all the parts I can identify look like ALR went out
of their way to make the thing as excellent as possible. Plus, their
support has been just fine by my standards. The only catch is that
ALR doesn't sell mail-order -- you must buy from an ALR-authorized
dealer.
But the ALR Evolution V (Pentium) machines have gotten nothing but
excellent reviews (just like all the major ALR boxes before it), and
are about the fastest Pentiums on the market. In spite of the
somewhat high price, I intend to buy ALR again.
