Hi. I recently saw a 7300 for sale in the newspaper. The ad said that it had 2 Megs of RAM, and a 20 Meg drive, and Berkely 4.x Unix. Is this possible, or did he make a mistake? The price was $750.00, how good a deal is it. Thanks, --Rob. Robert Silvers. Box #1003 University of Lowell. Lowell Ma, 01854 (617) 452-8823 Rm. 322 "Live free or live in Massachusetts."

The Unix is SysV but the release number is open to discussion -- 1 or 2
seems likely. Berkeley? Nope.
Good deal -- depends on whether or not it includes system software and
the development set of s/w. Probably around $600 for them.friedl@vsi.UUCP (Stephen J. Friedl) (05/19/88)

The 7300 runs UNIX System V Release 0 with a few Berkeley enhancements, a few SVR3 enhancements (the good curses/terminfo), plus a couple of things you find in SVR3 but were probably coincidence (like shared libraries). -- Steve Friedl V-Systems, Inc.
