The reason I wanted to get the Nakamichi was that I could load all
the InfoMagic disks without having to change the CD caddy.  On my desk
at home I have just the monitor and keyboard.  I place the two
main Linux units under my desk with the modems and a whole bunch 
of ugly cables.  

A friend of mine came over yesterday to talk to me about ideas for
promoting his Zen computer line.  His company's name is Hakko.
I have the info in the office but from memory:

	133 mhz Pentium
	840 meg EIDE
	8 megs RAM
	15" MAG DX monitor
	English keyboard
	some graphics board with 2 meg VRAM
	2 16550 UART serial port, parallel, normal stuff

	180,000 yen without OS
	200,000 yen with Win '95-J

Evidently, there is no user's manual at the moment, but that
should be okay for Linux people.  He said that he will be
selling 166 mhz units in March or April.  His office is in
Yokohama.  I'll post more info when I get into the office.

Regards,
Craig
