According to my sales specialist, Release 3.2.2 (or higher) is not
available on 5.25" diskettes, and he could find no indication that
there are plans to provide it on 5.25". This doesn't make much
sense to me, as I think the Olivetti-made 6386s came with 5.25"
drives. Does anybody else has more info on this? I would be
interested in the SDS (4.1.6 vers 2.1 or higher) also.
Thanks in advance.

In general, at the end of the entry for every product, it either has an attribute specification that orders the product in dual media (you get both 5.25" and 3.5" media) or one or the other. For 386 Unix 3.2.2 specifying attribute MSF14 for 5.25" media, or MSF19 for 3.5" media will get you the appropriate media. The same goes for C issue 5. C issue 4.1.6 uses attributes SOF14 for 5.25" media and SOF19 for 3.5" media. This is common throughout the AT&T products. My Sales Manual is dated 2/1/90, and updates are shipped monthly. -- Frank McGee, AT&T Entry Level Systems Support attmail!fmcgee (preferred) att!cuuxb!fmcgee (those that can't reach attmail)

The PEC code is 1331-031. For the unlimited user version PEC is 1331-032. For the international versions they are 1331-031I and 1331-032I respectively. Hope this helps. J. Chandramohan

It is not uncommon for AT&T to discontinue support for last week's product. Just try to order a replacement keyboard for your 6300! > You should have your sales person check their Sales Manual. The sales manual does indicate that Unix is available on either 3.5" or 5.25" media. My AT&T dealer was told by his distributor that the 5.25" edition was not available, and probably would never be available. So, I told them I'd accept it on 3.5". I then went out and bought a 3.5" drive for my nice new '386 machine. A couple of weeks later, UNIX arrived from the distributor... on 5.25" floppies! -- Dave Levenson Voice: (201 | 908) 647 0900 Westmark, Inc.
