[comp.os.coherent] Will Coherent work for me?

scalawag@milton.u.washington.edu (Keith Frederick) (06/01/91)

Will Coherent work for the following system:
'386 with micronics motherboard and Phoenix BIOS.
IDE Maxtor Hard Drive
Modem setup for COM4
Trident 8900 Chipset SVGA card
LaserJet IIP Printer

Memory and disk storage shouldn't be a problem but I would like to know
how Coherent and DOS reside together; the advertisement for Coherent
states that Coherent can reside with DOS. I have several graphics
applications that I would continue to use under DOS and want to maintain
a decent portion of my HD for DOS (I'm kinda assuming one partitions the
HD between Coherent and DOS somehow). 

Thanks!

with the Bios or other earthly matters like assembly language usage. Needs
more basic system info and functions.

	2)The small memory model is a big restriction--though you are given
a few virtual memory functions for a ram disk.

	3)Specifically I've ported a lharc and make program with no problem,
but I've had a lot of trouble with my own shell. On my own I pick up things
here and there, but a little less time spent with how to use certain
utilities and more with basic innards functions in the large book that you
are sent would help.
