I am in the market for a 386 system to run UHC's SVR4 today and 4.4BSD in the future. The articles in Dr. Dobbs on 4.4BSD for 386BSD state that it should run on any 386 with the "Chips and Technologies chipset." Is there anyway to find out which systems actually use this chipset, short of calling up all the possible vendors ? Any recommendations on these systems ? (I'm trying to avoid high priced systems like Compaq.) Thanks. Rich Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu)

If it were my money I would call the vendor. I would also order by mail and pay by credit card. This allows you to specify "using C&T chipset on motherboard" and stop payment if it's not as ordered. For the record the Dell version of V.4 seems to like running on just about anything I've tried, in spite of their being careful to limit the promises to Dell. They let you try for 30 days, so if it doesn't work you're only out some time and postage. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
