I'm new to this group so treat me kindly. I'm looking for a SYSV UNIX box, 68030 25MHz+, 4+MB RAM, 100+ MB disk, 12+ serial ports (all running at 19.2K). I was told to ask this group (so I'm asking). Does the 3000 have all these things? What is the bus (VME?). Can it be purchased without the video display? Can it have two (identical) video displays? And how much is it? -- _ Kevin D.

The smaller A3000UX bundle comes with 68030@25MHz, 4MB RAM, 100MB disk. Add to that two C= A2232 boards, and you get basically what you're looking for. The A2232 is a card with 7 RS-232 ports on it, each of which can run up to 19,200 Baud (the card has a small CPU on it to manage buffering of the ports). >What is the bus (VME?). The bus is an Amiga proprietary bus, called Zorro III. It supports Amiga specific 16/24 and 32/32 bit cards. It's a smaller form factor than the typical VME (6U or 9U), but quite sufficient. The performance of the 16/24 cards is roughly equivalent to ISA bus on the PC Clones, while the performance of the 32/32 bit cards is roughly equivalent to EISA. Additional information on the bus itself is available from Commodore, or informally on comp.sys.amiga. hardware. >Kevin D.
