Hello,

I just purchased an OPUS Sys/32 board from a former NSC employee.  It
runs some flavor of UNIX V.2 :^( with BSD utilities :^).  I would
appreciate any feedback on the following (the board has 4mb of memory,
and a 32032.  It plugs into a PC and uses it for I/O):

1. what disk/PC configuration do you recommend?  I thought of going
cheeep, except for the disk controller and disk (probably RLL
controller, 65 mb disk)

2. does anything from the GNU project run on this board?  Emacs, gcc?

3. Any info on support/current release of UNIX for this board from
Opus or NSC (I don't know what version # of the UNIX I am getting)?

4. any other words of wisdom?

--thanks, mark
