Speaking of cheap unix boxes, I recently saw an ad for a
unix box that is called the cubix^2 that to quote:
Within this perfect 11 inch cube is a 220mb
formatted Winchester 60mb tape, 1.2mb
floppy, a built-in UPS, math coprocessor,
up to 8mb ram, and support for 8 users.
... conforms to the SVID standard
This box is produced by LF technologies, inc. and they claim
to be selling it for personal computer prices. Has anyone
ever heard of these guys before, or their box???

We have one of their boxes here and from what I am told, it looks
pretty impressive (so far at least). We only have about 80 Mbytes
in our configuration, so other configurations other than what is mentioned
above are supported. What is especially impressive, is pulling the power
cord, and having the system keep running. It even lets you know that it
has lost power. When power is restored, it also lets you know.
