We have the opporunity to obtain a large number of 80186 based UNIX
System V systems from a very large US electronics manufacturer at a very
competitive price. This is a very solid entry level or development system
but with all the hype about 80386 I am looking at the viability before we
proceed. These are current models and are still being sold to OEM's. The
basic configuration consists of an 8 Mhz 80186 with 1 Mbte memory, a 43 mbyte
disk drive (with room and power for a second drive),a single 360 K floppy
capable of reading and writing DOS diskettes, 8 serial ports and 1 parallel
port. The version of UNIX V is IN/IX and is from INTERACTIVE System of
Santa Monica, CA. This is a pedestal mount box with a full Unix development
system including "C", development utilities, communications(uucp, a 'cu'
equivalent, umodem), text formatting programs such as [nt]roff and several
editors such as vi, ed, and INed. This also includes Berkeley enhancements
including csh. It supports 4 to 6 users with good response. This entire
package could be availible for $4000 plus shipping and tax. Dealer discounts
would be possible.
Optional Software packages already ported and availible from various
sources are:
LEX word processor
Informix - data base
Unify - data base
Ultracalc - spread sheet
Real World - accounting software
Business Accounting Control Systems - American Business Systems
Newport Technology's CONCEPT manufacturing package
FISCAL - retail package that supports scanners and includes basi
accounting
Garment industries package
Easy Link - a telex package
LOCUS - PC Interface for MS-DOS and unix integration
PASCAL
RM Cobol
FORTRAN 77
BASIC - Microsoft compatible
All of INTERACTIVE IN/ix products (mail, word processing,
networking, programmer's tool kit, etc.)
Hardware options include
Larger disk drives (86 mbyte)
Up to 2 disk drives
Tape backup
