We are thinking of getting Xenix for my dad's 286 box and have a couple of questions. His current configuration is (will be): 4 Mb of onboard memory VGA Video 40 & 110 Mb harrddisks 1.2Mb 5.25" & 1.44Mb 3.5" 1. Will the AST boot Xenix directly or will it boot from a PC parttition and then start up ? 2. Which version(s) of Xenix will support 2 IDE Harddisks (40 & 110Mb), as well as possibly a SCSI tape subsystem ? 3. Do you have to get anything else to be able to run DOS appls. under Xenix, or will the base Xenix system be able to do it ? How many at the same time ? Please respond by E-Mail, I can summarize if anyone cares. Thanks, -ingo -- /* Ingo Cyliax ECN, Electrical Engineering Bldg. * * cyliax@ecn.purdue.edu Purdue University, W.
