*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Does anyone have compared hands on the Sperry PC/IT to the ATT 6300+, How about multiuser capabilities, compatability. When is MSDOS will be multiuser? ihnp4!aluxp!prieto

I ran some benchmarks and compatibility tests on the two, and slightly
prefer the IT. It takes regular (cheap) AT boards, and costs a LOT less
at discount. It comes with 44MB disk instead of 20MB. It is available
with XENIX from Sperry and you can get a nice 4 port serial board
(useful even on a single user system).

We were supposed to be a 6300+ test site for the new UNIX/DOS os. We
have had the machine for months and still are told that the os is not
available. People tell me that (a) they have it, or (b) they'll have it
Real Soon Now, or (c) everybody knows it's available. All I can say
from personal experience is that the machine sits in a corner and waits
for the os, while we run XENIX on AT's. Either the os is not available,
or somebody doesn't want to sell it very much.
[end flame suit]
If someone REALLY HAS this os, please report.
