Can anyone shed light as to the current status of System V.4? Where can a person go to purchase a machine that runs V.4 as espoused by AT&T. Has it actually been released yet? Does it really exist at all? Thanks, ........ Henry

It is basically being sold now so that developers can start their V.4 work. It is not recommended as an end user platform at this time. The final "end user" version will be ready in several months (+/-) and everyone who has bought V.4 will get the upgrade free. >Where can a person go to purchase a machine that runs V.4 as >espoused by AT&T. Most ISA machines that run V 3.2 should handle V.4 . The EISA machines are more of an unknown - I don't know one way or the other. Does anyone out there with V.4 use an EISA machine?

We are running it on several different EISA systems, and it is stable. Of course it's not Microport V.4, but.... ;-) James Howard Dell Computer Corp. !'s:uunet!dell!mustang!jrh (512) 343-3480 9505 Arboretum Blvd @'s:jrh@mustang.dell.com Austin, TX 78759-7299

Of course it's not Microport V.4, but.... ;-) is anyone out there running Rel 4 on 3b2/400 or 3b2/500? i know these were part of the porting base, but is anyone using it in actual work, or is it still mostly beta sites? -- [ Jim Mercer jim@lsuc.On.Ca || ...!uunet!attcan!lsuc!jim +1 416 947-5258 ] [ Systems Facilitator - Law Society of Upper Canada, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA ] [ Standards are great.
