Ok.. I have raved about this thing before so I'll keep it short ;-)

I run Interactive Systems 386/ix (wich is pretty picky about HD cards) and
despite the fact that no one at ISC or Perstore (before my letter after I
got it to work) would admit that this should run ... I tried it ..

Perfection.

 It works like a charm.

Cant imagine that ESIX would be any different ..

here are the "/etc/dfspace" results ...

/         : Disk space:  12.32 MB of  26.15 MB available (47.11%).
/usr      : Disk space:  13.22 MB of 104.21 MB available (12.69%).

**** both of those are on a ST4096 (80 meg) ****

/u        : Disk space:  11.35 MB of  74.10 MB available (15.32%).

**** this is a ST251 (40 meg) ****

/u1       : Disk space:  18.70 MB of  80.24 MB available (23.31%).

**** 80 meg SCSI (not on the perstore but what the heck) ****

Total Disk Space:  55.60 MB of 284.73 MB available (19.53%).
