Unix System V Release 4 is available for TT.  The package consists of
TT 030/8 or higher (16 Mb would be quite good), harddisk bigger than
200Mb (I'm not quite sure of this), X-Windows, TTM 194 19" MC-monitor
and a big bunch of software and manuals.
I don't know the exact price, but it is much lower than the NeXT Station,
and A 3000 & Unix SVR4.

Just checked, the harddisk is 200Mb, and there are also VME Ethernet network
card, OSF/Motif, and GNU package (with C, C++ etc.).

My personal opinion is that you should get a harddisk of at least 400Mb and
minimum 16Mb of total RAM to run this Unix well enough (=fast enough).

A friend of mine told me that his Unix workstation has a 1.2Gb hd and it is
just about enough... But it has it's own nntp package and mail handler.
