[net.general] Info on FORTUNE system

chn@teltone.UUCP (06/16/83)

  I am considering the purchase of a FORTUNE 32:16 and would
  appreciate any solid information concerning the hardware and UNIX
  version running on the system.  I have some questions:
  
     1. Who ported the UNIX and what version?
     2. What is their C like?
     3. Is this a single board machine with limited expansion? (backplane)
     
        The price was $7500 for:
        10meg hard disk, 100k floppy, 512kb memory, 1 serial port plus the
        console, Forword, and Multiplan.
     4. Is this a reasonable price, or is Fortune about to release
	a newer, less expensive model?
     5. Would *THIS* machine be suitable for program development?
     6. Are there better buys in the microUNIX marketplace?

   Any advice in addition to plain old solid facts would be appreciated.
  
   Thanks in Advance,
