[net.micro.pc] UN*X

weikart@parcvax.UUCP (Scott Weikart) (07/01/85)

I'm sure this has been talked about, but I don't normally have access to
this newsgroup.  Can anyone tell me if a System V UN*X exists for IBM PC's
and/or clones?  It doesn't need to fit on a 10MB disk.  I would also
like to know about C compilers that use the large memory model, although
split I and D is probably good enough because of all the UN*X code that
has been written for PDP-11's.

I would also like to know about any survey articles comparing UN*Xes for
PC's and clones.

Please mail any responses directly to me, since I don't have easy access
to this group.

Thanks for the help.

Get an OPUS board for your PC. It runs full UNIX System V using the National
Semiconductor UNIX System V chip port. It is expensive though (I think
around $5000). It is a nice product. Or, wait for Xenix System V the upcoming
System V compatible Xenix from Santa Cruz Operations and Microsoft.
