I am in the market to buy a new computer, was interested in buying a PC/AT compatible, because of the cost, and the availability of UNIX System V port (Microport). Does anyone out there have any suggestions to which PC/AT Compatible? How much? How compatible (I want it to be able to run everything (Flight Simulator) except for BASICA which no compatible can run!) I am looking for a system that will have the ability to expand to >1M of memory, lots of expansion slots, 20+ Meg hard drive, 1.2M floppy, etc... Does anyone have opinions on Microport UNIX, I seem to have missed some of the deliberation on that product. Does it actually run MULTI-USER? What about Xenix? Can that run multi-user as well? Has anyone heard of a VMS port? Can I hook up for a news feed? UUCP & BITNET? Please mail responses to me, I will compile in summary the results: Lenny Tropiano -------- UUCP: ..philabs!sbcs!helm!quincy!lenny USPS: American LP Systems, Inc. 1777 Veterans Hwy Islandia, NY 11722 MaBell: 516-582-5525
