I'm planning to buy a PC/AT clone on which to run Microport's Sys V. I've pretty well narrowed it down to one box and would appreciate some feedback on the configuration that I am considering. The system would be used mostly for text processing, software development and perhaps a medium sized database. I would expect one or two users most of the time. Here goes... Multitech 900, 10MHz, 1 meg of 1 wait state RAM Multi-function card (by Multitech I think), 2 serial and one parallel port plus sockets for 1.5 meg more of RAM Miniscribe 71 meg disk, 28 ms access time Thompson 450A monitor (14" Amber) STB Chauffeur HT graphics adapter The obligatory 1.2 meg floppy I have a couple of specific questions too... What am I loosing with 1 wait state RAM? Are there ST412 Disk Controllers out there? Will I notice the difference? Does anyone have any experience with Multitech, Miniscribe, STB or Thompson? How does this stuff hold up? Many thanks, Doug Urner, dlu@tektools.TEK.COM
