Nice, very nice indeed! Maybe I'll forget that DECStation 2100 and buy UNIX
for my current A2000/A2620/A2320 (A2410 maybe?)  configuration instead... :)

Still, a couple of questions: In what format will that tape come, standard
UNIX tape format I guess, but what's the size of the tape? 60 or 150 megs?
And should I sell my current SCSI-adapter (Microbotics HardFrame) and get
an A2091 or can I get drivers for other host adapters too (any bundled with
current beta-relase?)?

PS. Any ideas how to break this annoying 4 meg barrier on this board, maybe
Dave Haynie could hack out a replacement of these 1 mb chips to 4 mb chips?
X Windows with Open Look in 4 MB machine is swapper's nightmare I suppose? :)
