My local computer center manager called and told me that the long-awaited
MMU is now available. The unit must be installed by a service center on
an 8MHz CPU board; the cost is something like $325 with a $60 labor charge.
The cables provide for two 1MB cards.
Another supplier has been shipping a different version of the MMU for some
time now; they also supply a 4MB RAM card. I know of one commerical site
that has installed the MMU and 3MB of RAM and which is very happy with the
performance of the system with several "heavy" users (including accounting
software).
The 3.2 development system is apparently still awaiting release. I wonder
if Tandy is going to return to its 6000 strategy (producing its own XENIX/
UNIX port) now that Everex and apparently Dell have moved in that direction.
