We are interested in getting some IBM PC-XT's with UNIX.
However, we are interested in some alternatives to
buying an IBM PC-XT with PC/IX. More specifically:
1) Does anyone have experience with Venix/86 from
VenturCom, especially with the hard disk package
which includes it (offered by Unisource)?
2) Does anyone have any experience with hard disks
for PC (they're all Winchester, right? but what
is IOMega's Bernoulli Box?? )? We've looked at
Tallgrass and Tecmar in particular, but anything
will do (famous last words...)
If nothing else, this may become a collection of horror
stories about attempts to actually make the IBM PC become
a useful machine. I will post a summary of everyone's
disk stories (provided there is a response).
Thanks in advance and keep those cards and letters coming
in to:
