Yes, a pro 350 will indeed run unix. I've seen these at DECUS and
believe there are at least 2 flavors of Unix that will work on a
pro. Sorry I didn't mention this before; it had slipped my mind.
  If you run unix, there's a bit of communication possible with
pros running p/os, namely a tar floppy program in the DECUS library
that runs in p/os which can read/write tar format floppies, allowing
some communication with your colleagues in that format. This will
likely only be useful for a few routines however, moving source
code around. The RX50 medium is not exactly a widespread one, but
possibly the bit of info may help someone else out there. I have
no experience with any unix flavors on pro BTW. They must be bought
and MY shop didn't have the $$ for this.......
