AT&Ts system V for 286s has Merge/286 as well, with the same one dos
task limit.  I believe the version for AT&T was Sys V v2.3.  I saw
it running on a 6 MHz (!) AT&T 6300+ machine.  The user used it as
a DOS machine exclusively and basically destroyed the Unix system
by turning it off (fsck everytime it came on).

I'm also interested in Unix for 286s - what are the fees for Microport
sys V AT?  Anyone have any info on the version of Unix mentioned above?

Thanks in advance.
