I would like to upgrade my PC limited 8mhz '286, running SCO 2.1.3,
to a '386 running SC0 2.2.
The most attractive would appear to be to replace my motherboard.
So what options do I have? I want to run SCO xenix and I want to be able
to run vp/ix. The features I'd like are:
- 16-20Mhz
- 64-128k cache
- 4Meg of zero wait state memory
- BIOS which will let me run vp/ix and use my WD1003 disk controller
- fit into my PC Limited chassis w/minimal changes
- verified to work w/SCO xenix
The Intel motherboard seems like the major choice I have.
What are the 'safe' revisions to purchase ?
What price should I be able to get ?
How much faster is this going to be than my '286 system ?
What other options do I have ?
