I bought a 486/25 VGA plasma luggable from BSI (see Computer Shopper) with
a 350MB SCSI drive for use under SCO UNIX V.  After a little bit of trouble
shaking out the XCMOS configuiration I've had no problems, and the system
has been so fast that it's wound up being an unofficial server here in
the department.  It clocks at the same speed under SCO UNIX as a Sun
SPARCStation-1 (21,000 Dhrystone 1.1's/sec).  Their current model is 
considerably cheaper and the motherboard allows more DRAM.

Heat has been no problem, system operates 24 hours/day.

I have no connections with BSI other than as the satisfied purchaser of
two systems.
