Well, one more question regaring the PC-7300...This time about the DOS 73 board. Has anyone run WordPerfect 5.0 on it, and if so, what compatibility probelms were found? Same question for Turbo Pascal 4.0. Thanks, Robert -- | Robert C.

The DOS 73 card is not made to place an IBM PC inside, but to allow minimal MS-DOS capability. The cost (more than a PC) and performance (less than a PC) support this. Your going to have to make a decision on what type of machine you want a UNIX machine, or a DOS machine. If you need both, perhaps a 386 UNIX system with VP/IX might do the trick, but that costs MUCH more than a 3b1 and an AT! -- Clifford C. Skolnick | "Love is a strange thing.

Somehow, WordPerfect must be able to assess what kind of video screen your system has--when I installed it, it was automatically set for the 7300 Hercules screen. Steve Houser The Document Workshop
