[comp.sys.att] 6386 and 6386E

sullivan@vsi.UUCP (Michael T Sullivan) (09/22/88)

Sorry to bring this type of thing up again, but does anybody know how
Interactive's 386/ix that came with our 6386 differs from AT&T's 386
Unix System V Release 3.1 Version 1.0 that came with our 6386E differs?
First off, we have found out the the floppy format for package installation
are different.  AT&T's recognizes the "old" and the "new" formats but
386/ix only recognizes the "old" format.  Also, a vendor suggested that
the binaries may be incompatible.

I know I brought this up with uPort and 386/ix once before, but we'd just
like to have a warm, fuzzy feeling about this.  Please send email.
