I'm trying to configure an ORACLE database server (I think that's what
I want to call it) for a friend. It must PS/2 machine, M70 or M80
(His call, not mine 8-{). He needs access for 4 to 5 users, COLOR,
and 2 printers. My initial reply was to go with the M70, the MCA
version of SCO's Xenix, lots of RAM (16M), and a big disk. Get a
multiport card, 3 color terminals and a PS/2 M50 or such for PC stuff.
I think that I have enough ports left for a laser printer and a 132
column dot matrix.
Have I made any serious gaffs? Do I have enough slots for ALL this?
Should I be using the M80 instead? I haven't mentioned a backup
device, because I'm clueless about what is out there. Any other ideas
as to how I could configure this system? He doesn't plan to be
talking to any other machines, so I didn't look into Ethernet between
the server and the PC ($$$).
Thanks in advance,
