Forgive  me if I was not clear.  I thought, though, that in my posting 
I had mentioned what I meant by "IBM compatible".  I wanted a controller
that could run an version of unix put out by IBM, PC/IX.  Only a few
select controllers could run it.  I wanted to know if there were any RLL
controllers that also had this capability.
