Netlandians,

A couple local vendors swear they can sell us (1) A Seiko micro, and
(2) a Tandy 2000 that will (1) Drive a 20 meg hard disk, (2) support
3 to 7 dumb terminals simultaneously, (3) Also support a spooler printer
at the same time, spooling files for any of the users, (4) Provide the
capability for one user to write to a file while the other(s) can
simultaneously read that same file (no lockout required), and (5) provide
different levels of read/write protection for files.

This is news to me!  Anybody know of such a multiuser capability on the
Seiko product line or the Tandy 2000?  I thought the Seiko was a cheap
IBM PC look-alike, not too compatible but cheap; and the Tandy 2000 was
very nice but incompatible and totally single-user.

Would appreciate info.

Thanks in advance,
David Kirschbaum
