I am about to buy a machine from a friend which is a 286 AT-clone He
has Microport for the machine and I have some questions.  I am sure
that most of these have been asked before but I've just strated
reading this group so please NO FLAMES.

1) If i buy this machine with Microport SysV/AT, is the licsence transferable 
	to me, i.e. can I call up and ask questions and down load from their
	bboard.

2) This machine does not have much memory (1 Mb), how much sould I have as 
	a single user, without terminals?

3) Does Microport use 80287 chip, if present?

4) The machine has a 70 Mb Miniscribe HD (28 ms).  Will this be large enough?

5) What Gnu Software will run on this system? (Emacs, Gnu-C, Gnu-C++ etc?).

Thanks for any responses!
