HELP Ok, now that I have that off my chest... Just bought a Zenith 386sx that I was assured would run the AT&T V.3.2.2 unix I have at work. Idea was to put on the 386sx freeing our 386/20 for some more "serious" work. Problem is that when I go to do the install, the disk starts spinning, and I see the "Booting the Unix System..." message, then after about a minute, the system locks up solid. Tried the first disk on the 386/20, and it appears that the lock-up occurs when the install script goes out to check the available memory. Any help GREATLY appreciated. You can contact me during the day at: (612) 541-0483 if you feel generous, or send me mail. Thanks, Ewan Grantham -- Creative Computer Technologies Ewan Grantham ..!orbit!bassette!egranthm

Had the same problem on a 20MHz Zenith 386 and did not find a solution.
Salesbeing said it shouldn't have happened. I recommend contacting
Zenith tech support directly.
