My 25 MHz '286 w/IIT '287 and 8 MB of RAM cost
about $400 including the box,
cost $2375, IIRC.
Theynever did build a microVAX that would outrun that 25 MHz '286.
Lucky to u on that 1.2GB monsters. About right for that time, GASP!
That 286 25MHz motherboard is certainly pcchips. what a POS and had
few 286-20 also. Having 287XL in it doesn't work too well!
That was back in 1991 or so.
Cheers,
Wizard Had homebuilt of POS cacheless 386-25 shitbox when I was
new to the PC w/ whopping 80MB IDE. :-D I learned better after few
problems w/ 486 boards then went w/ Asus and quality parts.
