Keywords: Is there anyone at all? Message-Id: <264@usage.csd.unsw.oz> Date: 17 Feb 89 12:10:39 GMT Organization: Computing Services Dept, UNSW, Australia I am looking for the x window on IBM PC/AT compatibles with EGA or VGA (maybe others?) graphics display. I have seen similar inquiry on the net before but have not seen any good news yet. Can anyone tell me that is there a such stuff available and, if there is, how can I get it? Many thanks. --- End of forwarded message from qiming@usage.csd.unsw.oz (Qiming Zhou)

We have pcXsight running on a Commodore PClone and a NEC Powermate IV, connected to a Gould PowerNode Unix Super-minicomputer. This software runs on 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386 IBM PC compatibles, under DOS 3.1 or later, with an EGA, VGA, Hercules, or AT&T 6300 graphics adaptor. A chap called Peter Brown is distributing the software here in Australia. You can contact him on (02) 957-2522. Hope this helps, Mark Broadbent ----- End Included Message -----

Regarding X on PC-class machines, GSS is shipping two main X11R2 products:
X/386 - complete X11R2 implementation for 386 UNIX, supporting
EGA/VGA and DGIS (e.g NEC MVA-1024, TI SDB, Imagraph) boards.
cost: $695
PC-Xview - X11R2 servers running under DOS 3.2 and 3.3. includes
servers for EGA/VGA and DGIS.
cost: $295
Source code is available for both products. For more information, contact
Russ Sprunger or Jim Thomasson at (503) 641-2200.

Hewlett Packard now markets a product called SoftPC, running on either their series 300 workstations or their series 800 computers, which emulates an 8086 in software; it puts up a window under X11 and currently supports monochrome and CGA, and an HPIB 5.25" drive. The software was written by Insignia Solutions, and I think it is also available for other hardware platforms as well. -bruce Well, I don't normally offer a disclaimer, but this time I'd better: These opinions are mine alone, not necessarily my employer's. I work for HP and have used their version of SoftPC but am not directly connected with that effort or with Insignia Solutions at all.
