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.
Thanx,
KJohn
