I would also need to maintain the ability to run MS-DOS based Programs. (Usix VP/ix or something similar?) I would also like to use the X-Windows system on this system (I currently have the mouse and graphics needed.) Can anybody advise on the following: 1) The amount of Disk Space for the OS? 2) The availability of Unix/Xenix etc from companies (ie who makes reliable versions.) 3) Where can I get X-Windows systems and cost involved. Hardware required? Thanks -- | BRENT G.
