Just for the recod, the last 6386 machine that we ordered arrived
about a week ago.  It was one of the package deal systems from the
university grant program that comes with Unix + development set as
a mandatory part of the deal.  All the Unix goodies arrived on 1.44M
3-1/2 inch diskettes, which of course, was good since that is now
the type of diskette drive all systems are shipped with.

Just thought you'd want to know.  I'm not sure if there is a
different comm code for the 3-1/2 inch media distribution.  If
there is a demand, I'll try to find the purchase orders to see.
