I have been running SYS V.2 on a dsi32 (32032) for over a month now, and am
very happy with it.  Both the product and the support are great.  If you have
an ibm-xt compatable pc already, the cost to add unix and the 32032 is well
under $7K.  A 32032 board with 2Mb and a single user SYS V licence is 
currently $3620.  After April 15 1986, with a new product release, a 4Mb
10MHz board with SYS V will be ~$2800.  (This info is from a sales rep. I
called while typing this.)  Darn!  I think *I'll* go buy one for *me* at
that price!  For those more concerned with price than performance, After
April 15, there will be a 6MHz 1Mb board for $1095.

For more info:
	DSI	(818) 341-5654	(32032 board for pc)
	ZAIAZ	(205) 881-2200	(Unix port)

Disclaimer:   I do not work for either of these companies, nor do I stand to
	gain anything from your inquiries/purchases.  I *am* a satisfied 
	end-user who has experienced *real-live* unix on my table at home
	(wow!), and am growing weary of hearing that "real unix only runs
	on 785s".  This is NOT an ad, but a statement that such hardware
	does exist, with some numbers thrown in to back up the claim...  

Disclaimer #2:  These statements are my own, and do not reflect the views
	of my employer, etc....
