	Hi,

	I'm looking into running UNIX on my 30-286 and was wondering
	if anyone out there in netland is doing so at the moment?
	(If so, I would like to hear how it is performing if at all
	possible.)

	Would I need a 386 drop-in board or will the 286 work too?
	(I suppose the 386 has several advantages.)

	What type of hard disk would you suggest?  (Size?)  I would 
	like to have a C compiler and also have room to set up a 
	DOS partition -- Unfortunatley I've spent to much money to
	just throw away all the software I have for DOS....  8(.
	Do they even make hard disks to fit into the 30-286 that would
	be able to support UNIX?

	How much memory would I need up needing to run comfortably?
	(I can expand to 14MB I believe.)	

	Thanks,


	Pat McCormick
