I've just FTP'ed what I have been told is an unusually powerful
news reading package called nn, and have been trying to compile
and install it on my Microport V/AT 2.4 system. Scanning the
PROBLEMS file included with the package was this advice:

Can someone help me with this? I don't have an earlier version of
libcurses, I have only owned my copy of Sys V/AT for a few months.
I have looked for the m286 malloc on local sites, but have been
unable to find it. Also if anyone has had experience building/using
nn on Sys V/AT 2.4 please pass on any hints or tips you may have.
Thanks! -MWP  (fred@cetus)

Will System V/AT run on PS/2 Model 60 w/MCA?

Hello.  A friend of mine wants to run System V/AT on his PS/2 Model 60 with
the MicroChannel Bus.  Will the standard distribution of System V/AT (2.3, I
think) work on the PS/2?  I'm only asking because I've noticed that 
Interactive's 386/ix has separate AT and MicroChannel versions.  Please
reply if you know whether V/AT will work on an MCA machine.

The standard version won't, but they do have a version for the PS/2.
It doesn't support most boards, though, and is even less supported
than usual.

Recomendation:  go elsewhere for a PS/2 Unix....
