Does anyone "out there" know if Interactive's 386/ix and VP/ix (version 1.0.5) will work with an Intel 386sx-based PC/AT? I am thinking about purchasing a NEC 386sx PC. The price is right, especially in comparison to "real" 386 machines on sale in my area. Am not convinced that I need a 32-bit CPU as long as I can run UNIX (some form) and DOS. The 386sx seems a good choice . So has anyone else tried UNIX on a 386sx machine, especially NEC's? GARY BARRETT UNISYS DEVON ENGINEERING DEVON, PA

While I haven't actually tried, I believe there should be no problem at all. The SX is supposed to be 100% software compatible with the 80386 and I haven't heard anything to the contrary. You might want to call Interactive and ask them about the particular machine you want to buy, though. jim frost madd@bu-it.bu.edu

What, if any, are the possibilities for 386 Unix on this thing? SCO Xenix and 286 *nix need not apply. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
