I am looking for an intellegent 4 port multi-port card for my 286 12mhz
that is expandable to 8 ports. It must also work on a 386 since I plan on
getting one eventually. It must work with Xenix 2.2.1 286.
What I'm asking for is some names of good cards (& company names), and anyone
who has any (new or used) they wish to sell. I only need one for now but
I would like to hear from anyone who can answer those questions.
P.S. I have heard that while SCO boast that they can support up to 16 users
that it is really an imposablity with a 286 or even a 386 without modified
busses. We plan to run a mutli-user game which will be the user's only
shell. Is it at all possiable? Is 8 users more realistic? What hint/help
can you give on this subject? (Note: we in no way are going to attempt to
run more then 8 users on the 286.)
P.P.S. Do multi-port board come in special versions for the 386? I need to
know cause we want to start out on the 286 I have now and upgdade latter.
Sorry for all the questions, but isn't that what the net is for? Thank you!
James
