So, maybe you should have purchased a Unisys 6000/50.
Three 325MB SCSI drives, 1.2 or 1.44MB diskettes, 60 or 150MB QIC,
64MB RAM, 20MHz 386, Weitek or 387, Custom Merge/386, Serial Console or
PC Monitor, four virtual UNIX screens on the monitor + several MS-DOS sessions.

Full UNIX sysV 3.0
Some Berkeley enhancements (only the good ones).
NFS...RFS... (I forget which is out, which is 88Q4).
30 users.
It works.

Oh, excuse me, I can't advertise on the net, we build it.
And have shipped it.
And showed it in Intel's booth at COMDEX 87.
