[comp.unix.xenix.sco] VPIX upgrade & DOS cards

mel@fleet.UUCP (mel) (09/10/90)

Does anyone have any experience with VPIX ver 1.2 running a Sun/TOPs localtalk
card/software under 386 Xenix ver 2.3.3?  Ver 1.1 of VPIX does not identify
the presence of the card since there are no drivers in the shell.  An SCO
rep told me at a trade show that VPIX ver 1.2 would be able to "directly 
address any" DOS specific cards bypassing previously required shell
drivers.

I had sent a request for further info to SCO in private e-mail and got one of
those "tech support will get back to you" replies.  They haven't yet and about
two months+ have come and gone.
