   Fellow Rainbow users:

   The word out of the just-completed DECUS at Anaheim, CA suggests
   that DEC is REALLY considering sub-licensing MS-DOS 3.10 to "an
   interested and stable third-party company."  It seems DEC has
   already paid for 3.10 A LONG TIME AGO but has, of course, not
   released it to the public, officially (there are bootleg copies
   floating around).  The problem is mainly one of support (and
   royalities, I'll bet).  DEC is looking for a company to support
   the product: it'll be out of DEC's hands at that point!  One of
   the companies brought up in conversation is Jerry Miller's
   Suitable Solutions company (the one that brings you the ClickClock
   chip for the Rainbow and markets many programs like CodeBlue and
   SpeedCache for the Rainbow).

   Keep up the letters and the calls.  DEC needs to here from you.
   
   Oh, by the way, for those of you interested.  One of the items
   that showed up at the DECUS show was an 80286 Replacement Processor
   board for the Rainbow!  10Mhz board for about $500-$600!  From
   Suitable Solutions.

   NOTE:  I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH DEC, DECUS (I WAS), OR SUITABLE
   SOLUTIONS (I HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED WITH JERRY MILLER) SO I GAIN
   NOTHING FROM THIS POSTING.  THEY GET FREE ADVERTISING.

   Enjoy,
   Alan
