  We (U.S. Geological Survey, Pacific Marine Geology), need a cheap
(<$10,000) Unix system we can ship as luggage and move from ship
to ship (i.e. somewhat transportable, small and rugged).  We need
the following features:

	Unix (4.n BSD preferred, V7 or SIII OK)
	csh
	vi
	nroff
	uucp
	Fortran compiler
	C compiler
	minimum 10 Mb disk
	large address space (i.e. able to use all available memory,
	  not just 64k Instruction/64k Data)

The following features are desirable:
  
	multi-user
	Ethernet interface
	graphics screen
	widespread parts/repairs availability

  A nearly ideal system is an IBM-PC with Venix, *except* there is
no Fortran compiler available.
  Some systems that might be suitable, but I have insufficient information
for:

	- IBM-PC with 68000 card - who makes 68000 card/software?
	- Wicat S150
	- Callan Unistar
	- Small Codata system
	- Apple Lisa with Xenix or Unisoft port
