It works fine. The screen is 10.5" which is larger than the DEC. The box is really sturdy and is 7 3/4" x 10 x 1 1/2". I use a pcmcia system that was developed for Mach 2.5 and that I posted thru: ftp.cs.cmu.edu: project/coda/netbsd I am currently using only 8Meg of memory and with X things are a bit sluggish. One nice thing about the machine is that it has a little RJ-11 hole in the side; so you just plug in the wire and get a 14,400 modem -- no dongle necessary.
