While I generally would have to agree that memory is at the
heart of my problems with V/AT,it speaks volumes of the actual
quality of their port. I have run Unix on some pretty lame
hardware configurations on many different systems and none
performed this badly. Plus, there is serious trouble with the
serial drivers.. I am sure this has been thrashed to death here
previously so I won't add anything else. Too bad that SCO Xenix
has proven itself superior in all respects. I am decidely in
the System V camp , and refuse to use anything else on the
mini's we have here.

I was tasked to find a usable "Unix" for several office systems
currently running DOS and one that wouldn't require massive 
investment hardware-wise for aging hardware that will be outmoded
soon.. It looks like SCO Xenix is the winner. 

Thank God I don't have to use these systems on a daily basis.

Anybody want to buy a used AT :-)
