The Olivetti-made 6386's are no-longer available from AT&T. Their
new line comes with 3.5" drives (both hard and floppy). It is
not uncommon for AT&T to discontinue support for last week's
product. Just try to order a replacement keyboard for your 6300!

The sales manual does indicate that Unix is available on either 3.5"
or 5.25" media. My AT&T dealer was told by his distributor that the
5.25" edition was not available, and probably would never be
available. So, I told them I'd accept it on 3.5". I then went out
and bought a 3.5" drive for my nice new '386 machine. A couple of
weeks later, UNIX arrived from the distributor... on 5.25" floppies!
