Tandy recently introduced their model 4000, a 16 MHz 80386
machine. The machine is very aggressively priced ($1899 without
display or HD) from some of the discount houses, and PC Magazine's
recent review was good. It sounds like an excellent platform for a
personal Unix machine. I would appreciate comments (by mail) from
anyone who has experience with the Tandy 4000, especially under Xenix
or Microport Unix, to help me decide about purchasing the beast.
Thanks,

Microport has told me that they are not actively working on the driver but soliciting contractors and will probably support to Tandy 4000. Xenix will (probably already has) support for the 3 1/2". -- David F. Carlson, Micropen, Inc. ...!{seismo}!rochester!ur-valhalla!micropen!dave "The faster I go, the behinder I get." --Lewis Carroll
