Hi, Due to the purchasing requirements of AT&T we bought a bunch of 6386 WGSs with Unix. Quite a number of offices that got the 6386s wanted to do stuff like run Netware or DOS only (perish the thought) on them. The end result is that we have a number of Sys V + the Development Set in our inventory seeking friendly computers to run on. We're thinking about a HIMS '386 machine. We've rounded up the requisite PC, 4 megs of memory, a Paradise VGA Plus /16 card and are about to get a WD ESDI controller and a yet to be determined disk drive. The monitor is going to be a monochrome VGA. What sort of pitfalls are there? We know that the HIMS can run SCO or Interactive, but heck we already bought the licenses for the AT&T Unix; we might as well put it to good use... I'd be appreciative for any war stories you can pass along. Thanks, Bill (wtm@neoucom.edu or wtm@impulse.UUCP)
