The NABU runs XENIX 2.0 or 2.1.  The NABU is faster than a PC (8086
vs 8088; clock rate is similar), and it has a memory management unit
that protects processes from each other, and the kernel from processes
(VERY useful with UNIX).

Note that many  people are running booltleg XENIX on the NABU's.  I
don't know that this is the case here, but beware!

Unless the terminals are wonderful, this price seems high compared
to other NABU sales.  But the machine is probably worth more than
that when compared with other UNIX machines.

I have three NABUs: make ME an offer!  (I have a license for the
one I run XENIX on.)
