>>>It sounds very nice, but $2K is for Quadra 610 DOS Compatibe configuration
including the card containing a 25-MHz Intel 486SX?
I am a foreign student (Italian) in Japan, and the prices here for
Machintosh are prohibitive (for instance a Quadra 610 NOT Dos Compatible
costs around 500K Yen that's around 5,000 $ (!!!!)).
Of course I am not going to buy it in Japan; could somebody tell me
if it is possible to buy such Quadra in USA, but from here, by mail?
Thank you very much indeed.
