I just purchased some new (old) software for my home system. I'd
like to know if anyone has experienced problems with this particular
combination of hardware/software.
present config: new stuf
ALR 286 powerflex box 386-SX upgrade module
1 MB ram at least 1MB more
40 MB - 28us fixed disk additional serial card
VGA-Wonder card (256K) w/mouse >>> Microport System V/386 (r3.0)
TVM 3A monitor >>> Locus Merge 386 (v-1.00)
IBM DOS 4.01
Canon XT clone luggable
CGA monitor
I understand that MicroPort Co. is in recievership or re-organizing;
don't know much about Locus, but the price was right on these two packages.
Anyway, I plan to install the System V and create a physical DOS
partition during the installation. The Canon XT-clone will be used as
an additional `terminal' from a serial port on the ALR.
My major concern is of the 386-> SX < compatibility at 16MHz with
this unix OS - and also the ATI VGA-Wonder card/monitor/mouse-port working
with all of the above.
Anyone have any comments-suggestions-warnings about the above
endeavor?
Please E-mail. Thank you.
