I am planning on purchasing a new computer system late in the Spring of '89. And I would like to get some questions answered so I can decide on what I want. (I am fairly new to the MSDOS world :-). 1a) What kinds of UNIX (XENIX?) are available for a 286/386 box? b) How much should I expect to spend? c) Can it run MS-DOS concurrently or as a subprocess? 2a) Are there any *fast* VGA controllers out there? b) Does it have better than VGA resolution and/or color capability? c) How much should I expect to spend? d) What kind of monitor do I need (MultiSync, MultiSync II, ???)? 3a) Who makes a good (read reliable/fast) 286/386 box? b) Is a 20Mhz 286 just as capable as a 16Mhz 386? 4) If you could have your own dream (read: feasible dream :-) 386 color UNIX/MS-DOS box, how would you configure it? Please respond via EMail and I will post a followup.
