I have been considering purchasing many new computers. I would never have considered an IBM, but the price of hard disks for an IBM I am tempted to go for it. I have seen a certain ad in Byte advertising a 10 megabyte hard disk for the IBM complete with a version of UNIS (?) on it. (or was it Uniplus) How good can this system really be? What did they leave out of Unix (I realize networking software isn't needed, but do they at least include nroff, vi and the C, Pascal, and f77 compilers with the needed attatchments? How good can this system really be. (I have an Apple so even the 8086 seems to be more powerful than a 6502 or a Z80. All comments/suggestions welcome.
