	I'm running a 1006V, which is a more recent version of the 1006.
I currently support Xenix/386, ISC UNIX, and (when I have to) DOS. Never
a problem. My system (a NEC 386/20) runs a 1.44 floppy off an embedded
controller, but (assuming your BIOS supports such floppies) the version
of the 1006V with floppy support should work fine.
