One of our systems was experiencing problems, so please excuse this reposting if the original article made it to the net. ---- I would like to have a U*NIX type system at home for relatively little $$$. (Wouldn't just about everyone?) To this end, I am considering building one of the PC/XT clones from the bare boards available for <$100 from several sources. Has anyone on the net had any experience with this? What caveats are involved in getting the U*NIX to run? How similar are different BIOSs? Are there any particular companies to avoid and/or any to try? Also, any suggestions of other ways to do this? Thanks in advance, marcus ..!ihnp4!tellab1!tellab2!thoth
