[comp.unix.sysv386] Trident SVGA card and ESIX

nigel@cnw01.storesys.coles.oz.au (Nigel Harwood) (06/11/91)

Can some kind person tell me if the Trident SVGA card is
fully compatible with ESIX SVR4 ?

I have the ESIX hardware booklet but it doesn't mention Trident
but it also doesn't say whether it is for SVR4 or not.

Also, I just read the note from someone regarding distribution
media for DELL being a 150 MB streaming tape *only*.  Can someone
tell me if this is true also for ESIX ?

Regards

ESIX is supplied on diskettes as well as 150 MB tape.  I have ESIX SVR4
on 5 1/4" HD diskettes.  There are 59 diskettes in the basic system.  The
whole system with all the add-ons comes to 96 diskettes.
