Neither of you | seem to be in touch with the real world, so why don't y'all send mail to each | other for a while. Since the ideal solution (UNIX on a 68000 or better for | less than 5 grand) doesn't exist, I'll keep my Amiga for the 68000 and use | Microport for UNIX. +--------------- Why don't you hurry up and get a fire-sale 3B1 instead? $2700 (including tax) for a 2MB 3B1 with 67MB HD is darned good -- and it's a REAL computer with a REAL UNIX (even has shared libraries and demand paging, golly gee!). The only problem I have with it is that Convergent emasculated the UNIX (pun unintentional); but then, it being a 68010 with demand-paging hardware, we can always wait for GNU. (I suspect I'd prefer a BSD lookalike to System V anyway. But I haven't had a chance to find out, since I've almost no BSD experience.) I find that I prefer it to a whizbang 386-based Xenix system -- and the 386 is a pretty good processor (gasp!). -- Brandon S.
