I have raved about this thing before so I'll keep it short ;-) I run Interactive Systems 386/ix (wich is pretty picky about HD cards) and despite the fact that no one at ISC or Perstore (before my letter after I got it to work) would admit that this should run ... I tried it .. Perfection. It works like a charm. Cant imagine that ESIX would be any different .. here are the "/etc/dfspace" results ... / : Disk space: 12.32 MB of 26.15 MB available (47.11%). /usr : Disk space: 13.22 MB of 104.21 MB available (12.69%). **** both of those are on a ST4096 (80 meg) **** /u : Disk space: 11.35 MB of 74.10 MB available (15.32%). **** this is a ST251 (40 meg) **** /u1 : Disk space: 18.70 MB of 80.24 MB available (23.31%). **** 80 meg SCSI (not on the perstore but what the heck) **** Total Disk Space: 55.60 MB of 284.73 MB available (19.53%). **************************************************************************** Amazing Manic Depressive Elephant from Bangkok.

According to _Perstor_, it works only with 386/ix and Xenix. I know it doesn't work with ESIX Rev C (I tried it before calling Perstor to find out why not). -- Dave Burton uunet!ism780c!laidbak!daveb
