I just bought a Colorado DC2000 system last week. Since I already have 2 floppy
drives, I needed to buy another board (add $70). The hardware went in without
a hitch. Colorado has a xenix/unix driver ($100 extra) which works just fine
with tar and backup.

A nice feature for me is that I can backup my DOS partition and XENIX
partition on the same tape.
