I wonder if anyone could give me some advice about whether to buy a clone or wait for the new 386 BB to come out. After reading the messages here about the supposedly imminent release of the 386 BB, I guess I'm still skeptical about this product, given Commodore's track record of "announced" products which never appeared or were severely delayed. Also, the prospective price of 900-1000 dollars is disappointing. I can buy a 20mhz 386SX clone with 40MB hd, VGA monitor, mouse, etc., etc., for less than $1000. As far as I can tell, the only advantage to the BB is that it saves space. That Is a factor worthy of consideration for me, as space IS at a premium here. I probably would prefer the BB, all things being equal, but as far as I can tell, they're not. Advice would be welcome. Thanks. Don
