serial boards and tape drivers for the 80386

[Karl Lehenbauer]

I'm trying to switch over from Microport 286 Unix to Bell Tech/ISC 386 Unix,
and, as I've mentioned before, Bell Tech Unix, as distributed, will not
support more than two dumb serial ports other than their own dumb board
nor does it appear to support non-Bell Tech tape drives.  If Bell Tech
Unix is going to be *the* generic Unix, and certainly the 386 is a much
nicer Unix platform than the 286, Bell Tech is, I think, going to have 
to support the same hardware Microport supports, else existing customers
with things like the Digiboard-8 are going to have to buy the Microport
386 Unix.  The point?  Bell Technologies is losing sales by not supporting
dumb serial boards and tape drives other than their own.  I've enjoyed
the postings by Bell Tech employees on the net.  Please fix these problems.
I really don't want to have to "go back", if you know what I mean.
