Is there anyone out there running QNX on the 2000? If so, I would appreciate any information regarding performance, bugs and any related "connectivity" considerations. ( ie what networking boards work on the IBM side of the 2000 and how well do they work given the scenario of running QNX on the 2000?) Please reply to above or alexew@watdcsu

I'm currently running a 3-Com Ethernet card on on the IBM buss. Is this this the bus you are talking about? CBM mentions another card in their 2088 manual, but I don't have it handy, it's at work. I'm also running Sun's PC-NFS software to connect. No problems, so far. Im beating this to configuration to death, and it works well. Performance? I don't know what QNX is, so I can't tell you about software performance. Im currently running the Acorn RISC processor on the IBM buss. The throughput is bottled up in that poor 8-bit 8088 running at 4.77 MHZ. If you want more throughput, I would hold out for the upcoming 80286 or 80386 bridgecards, if and when they appear. (They surfaced at COMDEX). > Please reply to above or alexew@watdcsu You got it. -- Work: Computer Consoles Inc. (CCI), Advanced Development Group (ADG) Irvine, CA (RISCy business!
