I presently have an UNIXpc (7300) running UNIX Rel3.0 and also have the DOS-73 coprocessor and all seems to be working well. I purchased the 7300 used and didn't receive any of the install diskettes for the DOS-73. ;-( Yes, I sometimes never, almost occasionally dabble in DOS. ;-) So first of all is the DOS-73 software, for 3.0, binary compatable with 3.51? Anybody have this? Also if it's that easy I'm still not sure which pieces/ parts are the DOS-73 software? Can anybody look at the install script and help me out there? Assuming that it's not compatible. How do I go about getting the DOS-73 software I need? I want to upgrade to UNIX Rel3.51 a.s.a.p. but do not really want to loose the coprocessor. Anyone willing to peek at the install script for the DOS-73 board so I can determine what is DOS-73 software. Any other suggestions as to how to tackle this problem? Anyone got for sale a 8087 FPA for this turkey? soooo slooowwww.... And as always, Thanks for your help. _____________________________________________________ Steve Hurrell {utai,utzoo}!sq!steve SoftQuad Inc. att!utgpu!sq!steve 720 Spadina Ave., Ste. 200 Bus: (416)963-8337 Toronto, ON M5S2T9 CANADA Res: (416)947-9007 -- _____________________________________________________ Steve Hurrell {utai,utzoo}!sq!steve SoftQuad Inc. att!utgpu!sq!steve 720 Spadina Ave., Ste. 200 Bus: (416)963-8337

The software I have is: DOS-73 System Diskette (3 disks) VERSION 1.00 (I don't even know if there is a more recent release?) DOS-73/610 Terminal Support (1 disk) VERSION 1.0 DOS-73 Diagnostics (1 disk) VERSION 1.00 It's working fine here. Does anyone know if this once the one and only version of this software? If not, can I get it upgraded? Not that I admit to dabble in MSDOS either... :-) |>Anyone got for sale a 8087 FPA for this turkey? soooo slooowwww.... |> I have the 8087 FPA installed on my DOS-73, I haven't done any number crunching on it, but if anyone wants me to, let me know what benchmarks to run (ie. send me something to test on it). I think the "sloooowwwwness" is because of the screen handling and the nature of the 8086... -Lenny -- Lenny Tropiano ICUS Software Systems [w] +1 (516) 582-5525 lenny@icus.islp.ny.us Telex; 154232428 ICUS [h] +1 (516) 968-8576 {talcott,decuac,boulder,hombre,pacbell,sbcs}!icus!lenny attmail!icus!lenny ICUS Software Systems -- PO Box 1; Islip Terrace, NY 11752
