A while ago I asked for experience what size a harddisk would be necessary
to support DOS and UNIX on a PC.  This is, in short, the recommendations I
got:

1. Get at least 100M for a bare-bone DOS/UNIX system.
2. Get as much as possible above 100M for practical use, preferably at
   least the double.
3. Get a system with space for expansion.

SCO UNIX was the most referred-to product, supposedly at least someone had
installed it besides DOS in 120M, I believe.

Thank you fellow netters for your help.
