I'm faced with having to develop an accounting system on IBM PC's (sigh). 
I've got a very nice looking brochure that talks about a system III port 
called PCIX.  I was wondering if anyone has used it, and if so, what 
their reaction was.  Is it slow?  Is it robust?  Do you need an onsite 
guru?  
   I'm currently at the planning stage and looking for the best operating
system for the job.  I like the idea of a Unix as we already have several
68010's running Unix; the IBM's would interface nicely if running Unix, less
nicely running DOS.
   Any information/suggestions at all would be appreciated.

		Thanks in advance,
