/* ---------- "Alternative OS's for AT Class machi" ---------- */ Recently I was asked by a friend that has an AT Class machine (CompuAdd 12MHz, 1 MEG of RAM, 60 Meg hard drive) if I knew of any other OS's for his machine. I probed and asked what types he had in mind. He said something like U*IX but at the time he doesn't want to learn that many more commands. He asked if I had ever heard of PCNX by Wendin Systems. I said yes but didn't know that much aboutit. My question to the net is does anyone have any information re:PCNX, either good or bad. Please email respo nses to me and if there is enough interest I willpost a summary to the net. Thanks in advance.

You must know someting about os9 that I don't. I've been the Forum Sysop on CIS's OS9 Forum for around 4 years, and am the outgoing V.P. of the International OS9 Users Group. To my knowledge, OS9 was never available for the 8088, 8086, 8018*, or 8028*. There have been some rumblings about a 80386 version of OS9, but you folks at Tandy are supposed to be keeping that a secret! ;^} Pete P.S. Never heard anything about TSC doing an Intel'ish port either, but then I don't track TSC as closely. -- Pete Lyall Contel Corp.(818) 706-5693 Compuserve: 76703,4230 (OS9 Sysop) OS9_Net: (805)-985-0632 (24hr 300/1200/2400) Internet: pete@wlbr.eaton.com UUCP: {hacgate,jplgodo,voder}!wlbr!pete
