(Help this line go to Hollywood) I am seriously considering buying a Maxtor 140 mb drive with Wang tape backup from S-100 Inc. Has anyone tried using this subsystem with Xenix? Are there any device drivers out there? S-100 says they will do software support for PC-dos but that they do not have a Xenix to try it out on. I really do not want to go into debt in order to become a sacrificial lamb. If you haven't used the Maxtor system but have used a drive comparable in size with Xenix on the AT, please tell me what it is. Thanks in advance -- liz sommers uucp: ...{harvard, seismo, ut-sally, sri-iu, ihnp4!packard}!topaz!sommers arpa: sommers@rutgers

Our AT's don't run Xenix but Venix. However I think you will find the Information useful. If the drive you are considering is one of the drives that the IBM AT controller supports than it will probably work with Xenix. To check this out or to find out what other drivers you can use call Xenix technical suport or possibley IBM tech support. -- Larry Rodis UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|hao}!noao!terak!anasazi!larry ucbvax!arizona!asuvax!anasazi!larry PHONE: +1 (602)275-0302
