Has anyone on the net ever used an UNIX on a Lisa 2/10 or as it is now reportedly called, the Macintosh XL? I have heard that at least one company is now offering UNIX on the Lisa 2/10. Does anyone have any comments on the performance of UNIX on the Lisa, or any information on different implementations? Thanks, Dante De Lucia

UniSoft Systems (where I work) has done a UNIX port to the Lisa 2/10, now called the Macintosh XL. This is what we call Uniplus+ (UNIX plus our enhancements). Information and distribution is handled by Unipress Software, a UNIX software distributor: Unipress Software 2025 Lincoln Hwy. Edison, NJ 08817 Telephone: 201-985-8000 Telex: 709418 This is a System V release. A nice option is our B-NET enhancement. This provides the UC Berkeley IP/TCP protocols, great for downloading (or uploading) files! Obviously my opinion is biased, so I'll defer to others about the quality of Uniplus+. Also, xenix is available for the Macintosh XL. Bob Jung (ucbvax!unisoft!bobj)
