At school we have a number of Dell Precisions with the Wildcat graphics
subsystems, and while they can be fast, they also are rather difficult
machines when it comes to keeping them working properly.  The IBM on the
other hand sounds like it has been problem free.  But, it isn't a wildcat
IBM, but rather something different and a dual stream real time video
board.
