Is anyone who reads this group presently running the AT&T version of Unix for the 6300 that allows file transfers and single key toggle to DOS? Has anyone tried to run this software on other AT Clones including IBM? I tried to get a look at it at the local Sears Business Center, they have the 6300+ in all its glory but still no copy of Unix. Is this vaporware?

Is this vaporware? Without saying YES, I will state that we were to be a beta test site for the software, ATT sent us a 6300+ (also a 7300 before they were really out) and told us that the software would be available right after the first of the year (1986, one assumes). We still don't have it. I hear rumors that it's available here and there, but I certainly can't find it. -- -bill davidsen ihnp4!seismo!rochester!steinmetz!--\ \ unirot ------------->---> crdos1!davidsen chinet ------/ sixhub ---------------------/ (davidsen@ge-crd.ARPA) "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward"

UNIX SVR2 for the PC6300 PLUS is now orderable and is on one-week delivery interval. Your AT&T Account Executive (see the phone book or your school/business's purchasing dept.) can order it for you. Since national retailers like Sears do there own central inventory, AT&T has no way to directly ensure that your favorite store has copies, but we have certainly shipped them. It includes full SVR2 functionality, plus a nice user interface, an excellent editior/wordprocessor, and the Simul-Task feature that lets you install MS-DOS 3.1 under the UNIX filesystem and run MS-DOS software as a UNIX process. In addition to the standard 20MB hard disk + 1.2MB floppy configuration, you need a 512KB chip set (AT&T order code 37561, $195 list price) to bring the motherboard up to a full 1MB of memory. The order code for UNIX is 1111-UX1. The list price is $195. The order code for the UNIX Development Set (C compiler, assembler, lint, make, lex, and so on) is 1111-DT1, list price $395. Other goodies include INFORMIX 1111-RDB $895 C-ISAM 1111-ISM $245 RM/COBOL 1111-CB2 $595 RM/COBOL runtime 1111-CBR $195 RM/FORTRAN 1111-F04 $795 CrystalWriter PLUS 1112-CWP $695 Professional Writer's Package 1112-PWP $595 File-It 1112-FIT $295 UltraCalc 1112-UCL $395 UNIX User Reference Man 1610-223 $ 60 Integrated Software Development Guide 1610-224 $ 60 Heavy users may also want a memory board (37555, $695 list) which comes with 0.5MB and is expandable to 2.0MB. Each 0.5MB on the board can be switch-set to be either serial memory (addressable by UNIX) or paged memory (addressable by Lotus 123, Deskview, and some other MS-DOS applications). Advanced telephone manager and Email software will be out next month, plus some surprising applications software. I will post more then. For people like Mr. Davidson who were promised a copy of UNIX and left hanging, my sincere apologies. I do not know who made this promise (and clearly you don't either, or you would be bugging them instead of posting on the Net). Your company's AT&T Account Executive can use the Price Element Codes shown above to get you everything you desire at ridiculously low prices, less any applicable discounts. Try it; you'll like it.
