These powerful, industry-standard personal computers run all of today's MS-DOS 3.3 applications and are ready for the OS/2 applications of tomorrow. And the DECstation personal computers offer outstanding performance at low, PC prices. The DECstation 200 and 300 systems offer all of that, with three crucial added features -- networking, application integration, and support from Digital. Now Digital's networked solutions include a full line of low-priced personal computers, in addition to the most powerful graphics workstations, terminals, printers, and multiprocessing timesharing systems. You'll see your work displayed with outstanding clarity and speed on a DECstation 200 or 300 series system, because they offer VGA graphics. And through DECwindows for MS-DOS, you can use powerful VAX systems as a shared computing resource for interactive graphics applications. This means that users who previously required knowledge of DCL to operate a VAX system can now achieve the same results through the simple, friendly DECwindows interface. Your entire computing environment -- from PCs to the largest VAXcluster -- can be installed and maintained by Digital's worldwide Field Service organization. Digital's Education Services organization is ready to help you with ongoing training. No longer will it be an exercise in complication to buy and maintain your PCs. With Digital's "one-stop shopping" the support you need is just a phone call away. Pre-configured or Customized System offer a Wide Variety of Options Each of the three members of the DECstation personal computer series is available in two easy-to-order configurations. You can order a basic system which includes a 3.5-inch floppy drive and VGA graphics adapter; or a system which adds a VGA graphics adapter, SCSI interface, and a high-capacity hard-disk drive to the basic system. The DECstation series of personal computers also offers you a wide variety of options, so you can configure the system that's just right for you. Digital offers you math coprocessor, expanded memory, and storage options that are designed specifically for the DECstation 210, 316, or 320. You can also choose from an array of system options and companion printers that will work with any DECstation personal computer. FEATURES o A series of high-performance, industry-standard Intel 80286- and 80386-based personal computers from Digital. Systems are fully IBM PC-compatible. o Easy to order and configure through the DECdirect ordering process. Call 1-800-343-4040 with questions, or 1-800-DIGITAL to order. You can also order through Digital's Electronic Store, or through Digital's Authorized Dist. o Uses Digital's high-performance Ethernet controller and PC integration packages for productive networking. o All DECstation systems can be fully participating mmembers of Digital's enterprise-wide networking environment. o Supports Digital's wide range of serial and parallel desktop printers -- including the LA75 and LA75P Companion printer, LJ250 and LJ252 Companion Color Printers, the LA210 Letterprinter, the LN03, LN03 PLUS, and the LN03 Scriptprinter. o Fully supported by Digital's top-rated, worldwide field service organization. o Systems are available as ready-to-use standard configurations, or you can custom-configure your DECstation personal computer from a wide variety of options. o Any member of the VAX family of computers can function as a server for your DECstation personal computers. Digital's PCLAN/Server 2000 brings your personal computers unmatched productivity in local and wide area networks. DECSTATION 210 PERSONAL COMPUTER The DECstation 210 features a powerful 16-bit 80286 microprocessor that gives you outstanding performance with today's applications and even more later on. Easy, low-cost expansion is a key advantage of the DECStation 210. In addition to its standard seven expansion slots, you can install more high-performance memory in a dedicated expansion slot. For storage, the DECstation 210 is equipped with a 3.5-inch, 1.44-Mbyte floppy disk. If you add a second 3.5-inch drive, you'll still have room for two additional 5.25-inch front panel devices -- either floppy or hard disk, tape cartridge, or a combination.
