System V Upgrade for Hewlett-Packard's Integral PC
--------------------------------------------------
As of December 1, 1985, the Integral PC System V upgrade will be
available. This is upgrade is FREE to *all* IPC owners!!
To get your upgrade, all you have to do is place an order with the
dealer from whom you purchased your IPC or if you purchased the IPC
directly from H-P, talk to your H-P sales representative:
SYSTEM V Upgrade P/N 82991A
The cost is $0.00. (For those of you outside the United States, use a
value of $495.00 for customs purposes.)
NOTE: The OS ROM is user installable. The IPC owner does *not* have to
bring in their machine to a service. Also, the IPC owner does *not* have
to return the old ROM (they make a nice hi-tech paper weight).
The only requirement is that at order time, the serial
number of the machine being upgraded must supplied.
What You Get
------------
The System V Upgrade consists of a user-installable ROM pack that
contains 384K of System V kernel and system drivers. In addition, you
will receive six system discs to replace those you originally recieved
with the Integral PC. New manuals will be shipped with the product.
To top it all off, the System V ROMs will not only give you all of the
standard System V kernel calls, but additionally you get:
Compatibility: All of those Integral Programs you
created will still work with the
System V ROMs.
Built-in Drivers: RS-232, HPGL, Alpha-Graphics Windows, TERM0.
Real Time extensions: All of those extensions promised in
original release are now in ROM.
ROM BASIC Capability: You can also add ROM BASIC with Sys V.
PAM Enhancements: Pattern matching (*,?...), Iconic
borders for windows and more.
DIL Support: Support for the DIL Library system
is included. (DIL is an acronym for
Device I/O Library and is an additional
cost product.)fnf@unisoft.UUCP (12/21/85)

Contrast this with the screams of protest about Apple's memory upgrade for those early Mac users that purchased skinny Mac's. I don't own an HP Integral, but this just enhances my already high opinion of HP as a company. -Fred =========================================================================== Fred Fish UniSoft Systems Inc, 739 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94710 USA {ucbvax,dual}!unisoft!fnf (415) 644 1230 TWX 11 910 366-2145 ===========================================================================
