Someone was creating a list of Unix's and here is some info on Microport's:
Their system is called "System V/4 Formula One".
2-user Unlimited
Runtime $500 $1000
Complete $1500 $2000
Unbundled System
Software Development $500
Graphics System $500
Networking $500
They have on-line documentation. After looking over the marketing stuff
it looks as though they've got just about everything included.

According to the prices above the difference from TWO USER to UNLIMITED with Microport is 500.00 and the same difference for Dell's is only 200.00. Why is does Microport users pay more for the unlimited version? ---Bob -- Bob Palowoda palowoda@fiver | *Home of Fiver BBS* Home {sun}!ys2!fiver!palowoda | 415-623-8809 1200/2400 {pacbell}!indetech!fiver!palowoda | An XBBS System Work {sun,pyramid,decwrl}!megatest!palowoda| 415-623-8806 1200/2400/19.2k TB+

Intel's price different is also around $200 - so that make two vendors at $200 difference and Microport at $500. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA {larry@nstar, {uunet|backbone}!nstar!larry, larry%nstar@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu} backbone usenet newsfeeds available Public Access Unix Site (219) 289-0282 (5 high speed lines)
