I recently purchased a clone 386-25MHz, with 1Mb (hey, only a poor student!),
and I run into weird things with it.  When running programs I wrote in TC++
the damn thing likes to hang on me.  This never happens at 8Mhz.

Has anyone else ever had a problem like this?  I didn't buy a 25MHz machine to
run it at 1/3 speed!  The dealer won't help me.  Is it a 'wait state' problem?

Also, I want to run UNIX on my machine, can anyone tell me what's good, I hear
a lot about MINIX, SCO XENIX, Coherent, etc.  Anyone actually using these?

Thanx Netters,
