My department would like to purchase some 386 machines in the near future. I would like to make sure that the machines will be able to run 4.4 when it is released. Is it possible for someone "in the know" (someone at Berkeley or a beta site) to post a list of hardware that is slated to be supported. I am assuming it will be a list of very "standard" names but I would like to feel a little more confident. Thanks. -- patrick pml@cacs.usl.edu

Nothing is `slated' to be supported. 4.4BSD will run on whatever it has been made to run on by the time it gets released. 4.3BSD-reno currently runs on: VAX series: uVAX 2 and 3 (not all configurations), 11/730, 11/750, 11/780, 11/785, 8200, 8250, 8600, 8650; Harris/Sperry/ICL `Tahoe' series: HCX-7, HCX-9, and equivalents; HP 9000/300; whatever 386 boxes Bill Jolitz has at the moment. If you want to ensure that 4BSD runs on your machine, buy a half dozen or so and give them to the UCB CSRG people to take home. :-) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 405 2750) Domain: chris@cs.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris

Quick, somebody send them a bunch of 3B2s!
