Hello Folks,
I am planning to buy a 33-MHz 386 PC from either Northgate or Gateway 2000
to run SCO UNIX Sys V. The hardware configuration I have in mind is as
follows:
33-MHz 80386 PC
64K Cache RAM (25ns)
4MB of RAM (70 ns chip)
1.2 MB 5.25" & 1.44 MB 3.5" Floppy Drives (EPSON)
150 MB ESDI Hard Drive (17 ms) 10 M/bits DTR
ULTRASTOR ESDI 32K Cache Controller
16 Bit VGA board w/ 1MB RAM (1024X768 resolution)
14" NEC MultiSync Monitor (1024X768 res. support)
1 Parallel/2 Serial Ports
Standard 101 Keyboard
MicroSoft Window 3.0
DOS 4.01 comes with the machine
MicroSoft Mouse
80387 Math Co-Processor (Socket for this chip support)
Clock/Calendar
Phoenix Bios
Now, I have two questions. First, am I missing somethings here that are
important to run SCO UNIX Sys V ? Second, I know SCO Sys V runs well on
Compag and AST 386-based PCs, but does it run on street-price clone like
Northgate or Gateway 2000 386-based PCs ? Please help me to determine
the right config. before buying...!
Thank you very much in advance to those who reply.
