Any information is better than a second no response. I don't know anything about SCO or Interactive. I have ESIX. To me it works fine. X windows was slooooooow until I put a 80387 in. I have a 1542 SCSI controller with a maxtor drive (I don't recall the model number, it's about 234MB formatted). The SCSI driver is slow put it's O.K. if your machine does not swap alot. I have 8MB memory. That's what you need at least if you want to use X windows. I heard that Interactive is faster in general. I know that X windows is faster, I seen it. I don't know Anything about SCO. > > Thanks in advance. You are welcome. > > Second, does anyone know of a 386 motherboard by the name of Hornet?
