[comp.unix.xenix.sco] UNIX and EISA

dnb@fltk.UUCP (David Buonomo) (09/14/90)

I would like to run a 386 UNIX on an EISA platform.  Are my choices limited as
to which UNIX I must use?  Does the bus simply not matter in this case?  I 
believe that SCO supports the EISA bus, but what about ISC, ESIX, etc.  Thanks
for any help.

  I have not had any problems running with the Vectra, Dell, or
homebrew. I have installed Xenix, ODT, ISC (old version, 2.0.2??), and
two versions of V.4 beta. One V.4 wouldn't install correctly on
anything, so that's not an issue, all other versions worked very well on
the EISA models.

  All were using WD compatible controllers, 1003, 1006, 1007 in various cases.
