I'd just like to know if anyone is using Interactive Unix on the ALR
VEISA. This machine has EISA and ISA slots, the CPU on a replaceable card,
and is expandable to 49 Meg (apart from cards in the bus). I've read
enough comments on EISA in general, I'm more interested in this specific
ALR machine and compatibility. Thanks.

The things I dont like, (1) The tower is a small tower, making room scarce. (2) The memory addon board covers the use of a 16 slot. (3) Theres no reset switch installed. (4) The external cache board causes traps, an is unusable so far ALR is suppose to be working on it . The cache only adds 400 drystones. Its fast though, turning about 21400 drytones ! These are my personal views only ! Rick Furniss rickf@pmafire.inel.gov
