I had a P4000 - a multiprocessor, multiuser -system with a lot of 8085
bords even
with his own ram , a system ram of 1mb , a 12' 80MB harddisks etc.
The computer died but some parts are saved.
Now I have 2 P3500 from phillips. They are TurboDos machines and the
nice thing is
that they have a DCD check and if I rum my procom under OS/2 the P3500
starts and
I cab work with it.
Ending procom the P3500 fall to sleep -)
I agree Phillips made nice machines even the TurboDos are great once.

I agree here, little is being saved of IBMs
wares. Really, the stuff is
Now, a manufacturer that _never_ seems to get mentioned
is Philips. How
many people realise that Philips (yes, the company that also makes
consumer electronics, etc) made minicomputers. They certainly made a
series of 16 bit machines in the 1970's, and I've heard of machines using
valves (tubes) back in the 1950's also from Philips.
